games

anime

Director Naoya shares the reasoning behind some of the anime's story changes and how the team brought Köinzell's vengeance to life. ― Etorouji Shiono's Ubel Blatt manga may seem like an odd choice for a contemporary anime adaptation at first blush - the series was serialized between 2004 and 2019, and it definitely retains the feel of its era of dark fantasy with its grimdark qualities and moments of...
