The next title to fill the Animeism block this Winter 2018 season has been revealed.
Earlier in the year Amazon made an exclusive deal with MBS to simulcast & stream titles from Animeism programming block exclusively through Prime’s video service (and under AnimeStrike for North America). A couple titles have appeared on the service like Altair: A Record of Battles, Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul and recently this season the second season of Yuki Yuna is a Hero.
Today, the next title to join the Animeism programming block has been revealed and that will be the upcoming anime adaptation of Shinya Murata‘s fighting manga series Killing Bites which begins airing in Japan this January. In addition to the programming block confirmation, the anime adaptation also revealed some new information including a preview video, character designs and staff/cast.
ABOUT THE STAFF/CAST
The anime will be adapted by studio LIDEN FILMS (Love & Lies, New Theatrical Initial D Legend Trilogy, Terra Formars) and helmed by director Yasuto Nishikata (episode director for The Heroic Legend of Arslan). Other staff members confirmed for the anime adaptation include Aoi Akashiro (Classroom of the Elite) for the series composition, Kazuo Watanabe (The Heroic Legend of Arslan) for the character designs, and Yasuharu Takanashi (Fairy Tail, Naruto Shippuden, Sailor Moon Crystal Season III) for the music.
Confirmed voice actors for the anime have all reprised their roles from the 2015 audio CD adaptation. These include Wataru Hatano (The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Magi), Sora Amamiya (Konosuba, Monster Musume), Maaya Uchida (Charlotte, Love Chunibyo & Other Delusions!), Sumire Uesaka (Love Chunibyo & Other Delusions!, Myriad Colors Phantom World), Takako Honda (Great Teacher Onizuka, Kara no Kyoukai), Hidekatsu Shibata (Fullmetal Alchemist, Mobile Suit Gundam), Yuu Asakawa (Fate franchise, Ikki Tousen), and Chinatsu Akasaki (Food Wars!, Love Chunibyo & Other Delusions!).
Killing Bites are underworld duels between human-animal hybrids.
One beast who knows no fear will fight in this animalistic world full of fear and insanity.
This ultimate battle of the beasts will shock you to your core!
