Anime Limited to simulcast Seraph of the End this spring

Yes, that's right, it's time to start thinking about a new season of anime once again, with the spring season kicking off this April. First out of the gate this time around is UK distributor Anime Limited, who have revealed their first spring simulcast for our shores (and beyond).

The series in question is Seraph of the End, a new manga adaptation (the source material of which is available in English via Viz Media) produced by WIT Studio (of Attack on Titan and HAL fame), and airing as a split-cour series across the spring and autumn 2015 seasons.

There's no news of where you'll be able to watch the series as of yet, but no doubt that will follow in due course - we'd expect to see it on Animax UK and Viewster at least, if we were making an educated guess.

Here's the full press release for your perusal:

About Seraph of the End

After an unknown virus wiped out all adults on earth, vampires appeared and ruled over the surviving children, treating them like livestock. Yuichiro Hyakuya survived along with other orphans by giving their blood to vampires, until Yuichiro escaped four years ago. Now he is a member of the Moon Demon Company, a unit in the Japanese army dedicated to hunting down the vampires he blames for the death of his family.

Based on the manga of the same name, Seraph of the End is a dark and thrilling series that will suck the viewer in.

President of Anime Limited Andrew Partridge says: “I’m really excited to bring Seraph of the End to the UK via simulcast. It’s an exciting new series and, as a huge fan of the manga, this is a great addition to our simulcast catalogue. I can’t wait to see this series and hope it’s as big a hit with fans in the UK as the manga was”.

Seraph of the End will be available for simulcast from April 2015 with more detail to follow in the next week.
