Whereas Kagurabachi was handled as a little bit of a joke within the west final 12 months, it is seemingly been fashionable sufficient to get an anime adaptation.
Weekly Shonen Soar has been in a barely awkward spot for a short time now, with huge tentpole titles like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia lastly ending this 12 months. They won’t essentially have been a part of a brand new huge three like Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach, however they’re clearly among the hottest sequence round at present, and WSJ did not actually have something to fill these spots – till final 12 months, when Kagurabachi debuted. Besides, over within the west, earlier than it even launched it grew to become a large meme, with anime and manga followers jokingly treating it as if it is the most effective sequence ever made.
A 12 months on and a few confused Japanese followers later, Kagurabachi continues to be alive and kicking, and now in accordance with Toyo Keizai On-line (by way of Anime Information Community) has reported that an anime adaptation is within the works at Cygames Photos via a joint manufacturing between CyberAgent and Shochiku. Toyo Keizai reached out to each firms, however neither of them would offer a affirmation or in any other case about whether or not an anime is within the works or not.
For people who have by no means heard of Kagurabachi, Shueisha’s Manga Plus describes the story: “Younger Chihiro spends his days coaching beneath his well-known swordsmith father. Someday he hopes to change into an awesome sword-maker himself. The goofy father and the intense son–they thought as of late would final eternally. However abruptly, tragedy strikes. A darkish day soaked in blood. Chihiro and his blade now dwell just for revenge. Epic sword battle motion!”

When an official announcement may come is anybody’s guess, however in case you have been somebody that memed on it final 12 months, I might say you are required to observe at the least one episode now.
