So, if you’re a fan of the Estab Life franchise, sci-fi thrillers or killer action sequences, then Bloody Escape is for you. Here is everything we know about the upcoming anime.
Bloody Escape release date
Bloody Escape will premiere in Japan on January 5, 2024.
On November 17, the anime’s official website announced that the film would be premiering on January 5, 2024, which is much earlier than its expected Spring release window.
Crunchyroll will stream the film sometime in 2024. However, the platform has yet to confirm an official premiere date.
Bloody Escape plot
If you’re not familiar with it, the Estab Life franchise takes place in a distant dystopian future. In this world, the human population is in decline and AI is being used to try and preserve what’s left of the earth, resulting in the creation of various creatures like demons and cyborgs.
Set in a futuristic version of Tokyo, this thriller follows the story of a human cyborg, Kisaragi. Featuring plenty of violence and gore, the audience will witness fierce battle scenes as Kisaragi is forced to escape from a group of immortal vampires attempting to conquer the city. And that’s not all, there’s also another enemy as the yakuza seeks vengeance for their murdered boss.
In other words, it’s essentially a slasher action thriller from one of anime’s great minds – Goro Taniguchi.
