Bushiroad has an original anime titled Joran: The Princess of Snow and Blood on the way, and it took the opportunity to reveal further details during a press conference. Set in an alternate history Japan in 1931 in which the Tokugawa shogunate remained and the Meiji emperor wasn’t restored to power, the anime follows a shogunate executioner organization named Nue as they enforce government rule.
Check out the debut promo:
Susumu Kudo (K) is on board as director, with Rika Nezu (Saint Young Men movie) supervises scripts and writes alongside Kunihiko Okada. Kano Komiyama is handling character designs and Jun Yamaguchi is on production design for the series.
