Maiden Blood

Maiden Blood, a new original TV anime, has been announced for 2027. The anime series will feature a dark fantasy narrative, with a story that takes place in a world where an Evil God has risen after gaining power from human fear of death. According to the source, animate Times, the project began in 2020 during the pandemic, when series compositor Makoto Uezu pitched a proposal to producers for a dark, hardcore action anime entirely free of broadcasting restrictions.

The main cast includes voice actresses Iori Saeki and Yukari Anzai, starring as Eva and Epica, respectively. The staff includes director Seiji Kishi, series composition by Makoto Uezu, and original character design by LAM. The music production will be handled by Pony Canyon, with music by Keiichi Okabe, Kuniyuki Takahashi, and Taichi Jouraku.

Staff and Production

The production committee is currently in negotiations with broadcasting networks to ensure that the anime can be televised as originally intended, without compromising its dark fantasy narrative. The studio behind the anime is Polygon Pictures, which has experience in producing CGI anime series.

Synopsis and Setting

The story takes place in a world where Armageddon has overturned the world's destiny, and an Evil God has risen after gaining power from human fear of death. As a result, eight billion people were sacrificed, leaving only a handful of survivors to exist merely as playthings for the god in a world shrouded in eternal darkness. In this twisted world, human blood has become everything - from currency and fuel to a forbidden weapon forged by sorcerers to eradicate demons.

Main Characters and Story

Eva and Epica are a pair of sisters bound by a tragic fate in the midst of this apocalypse. The younger sister, Epica, is the ultimate blood-battle human who has lost her soul, while the older sister, Eva, was born unable to walk. However, only Eva's blood can awaken Epica's power to fight against the demons that have defiled the world. The anime's teaser promotional video and official website are now available, offering a glimpse into the dark and intense world of Maiden Blood.
