Overview
- Following Monday’s two-episode premiere on April 6, the series rolled out on Crunchyroll in most regions, on Netflix in select parts of Asia, and on ABEMA in Japan.
- Ayumu Watanabe, the director, said the biggest hurdle was time, which forced choices about what to show and prompted the team to amplify some moments for clarity.
- Producer Hiroaki Kojima told fans a longer version of the premiere was animated then trimmed in editing, and he floated a possible director’s cut that is not confirmed.
- New episodes release weekly on Mondays with sub and dub dropping the same day, and Episode 3 is slated for April 13 at 7:00 a.m. PT.
- Early reviews applaud BUG Films’ translation of the manga’s intricate linework into fluid animation, crediting the quality push that included a delay from 2025.
