Unheralded short stories crafted by the creators of Chainsaw Man and Look Back are being transformed into an anime anthology.
Get ready, anime fans! A new series is heading our way, and it's one you won't want to miss. Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26, an eight-part anthology series based on the one-shot stories of Tatsuki Fujimoto, will be released on Prime Video on November 8.
The series will feature a diverse range of stories, from alien invasions and high school romances to bloody vampire action, killer mermaids, gender swapping, and a devilish little sister with the power to end the world. Among the stories being adapted are "A Couple Clucking Chickens Were Still Kickin'", "Sasaki Stopped a Bullet", "Love is Blind", "Shikaku", "Mermaid Rhapsody", "Woke-Up-As-A-Girl Syndrome", "Nayuta of the Prophecy", and "Sisters".
One story that will not be adapted in the Prime Video-produced anime anthology series is "Goodbye, Eri", which has gained significant acclaim and attention independently. This one-shot story, however, remains one of Fujimoto's best loved one-shots and will not be part of the series.
Fans of Fujimoto's earlier works have been eagerly anticipating the series, with one enthusiastic fan expressing their excitement on Twitter, saying "LETS F***ING GOOOOOO, I've been waiting for this." Another fan has been "eating so much", possibly implying they are eagerly anticipating the series as well.
The series will be produced by Watch On, Lapin Track, STUDIO GRAPH77, 100studio, Studio Kafka, and P.A.WORKS, and will feature episodes directed by Tetsuaki Watanabe, Kazuaki Terazawa, and Nobuyuki Takeuchi. Unfortunately, the article does not provide any new information about the directors of the series.
A first-look teaser for the series was unveiled by Japanese animation company Apex Pictures on September 2, but the article does not provide any new information about the release date of the series.
Regardless, this upcoming series promises to be a must-watch for fans of Tatsuki Fujimoto's unique and captivating stories. So mark your calendars for November 8 and get ready to dive into this exciting new anime anthology series!
