Crunchyroll recently announced an exciting amount of upcoming anime titles including some Crunchyroll Original series coming to next month.
The first of which is Gibiate, the latest Crunchyroll Original, which will premiere on July 15. Yoshitaka Amano (“Final Fantasy”) is behind the Original Character Design for the series, and is set in the year 2030, where zombies and monsters called Gibia roam Japan with samurai and ninja set out to defeat them.
The full synopsis via Crunchyroll is as follows:
In 2030, people in Japan are turning into different forms of monsters based on their age, sex and race. The illness is named ‘Gibia’ – after being rich in variety like gibier. A pair of samurai and ninja appear in the blighted wasteland of Japan. They both travelled from the early Edo period, fighting together with help from a doctor who tries to find a cure for Gibia. Facing ceaseless attacks from Gibia, and outlaws that attack travelers for food, they start the dangerous journey with enemies all around.
