Disney Twisted-Wonderland Season 1 Debuts October 29

Disney Twisted-Wonderland Season 1 Debuts October 29Last year, we learned the new anime Disney Twisted-Wonderland would kick off this October. Now we know exactly when: October 29.

We’ve also learned that the first season of the anime, which is subtitled Episode of Heartslabyul, will run for eight episodes.

The series, which will run on Disney+, is an adaptation of the manga, which is itself based on a smartphone game.

Takahiro Natori (Tokyo Mew Mew New) is serving as chief director and series writer. Shin Katagai (The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible) directs, with Haruka Nakano and Akane Sato adapting Black Butler creator Yana Toboso’s original character designs for the Yumeta Company and Graphinica production.

The first season stars the vocal cast of the game, including Yohei Azakami as Yuken Enma.

Here’s how the game’s English website describes it:

Summoned by a magic mirror to Twisted Wonderland, a world altogether unlike your own, you arrive at Night Raven College, a prestigious arcane academy. With nowhere else to go, you accept the masked headmage’s hospitality and begin searching for a way home. You quickly find that the students of this school are as talented as they are dysnfunctional—bickering and competition are the perpetual order of the day. Will you be able to work with them and eventually return from whence you came? And what secrets lie within the villainous hearts of these students?
