Based on the series of the same name by Masakazu Ishiguro, Tengoku Daimakyo opens in the ruins of Tokyo 15 years after the world has been brought to its knees by an unprecedented disaster. With only small, isolated clusters of civilization left, Kiruko is shocked to receive a mysterious request asking her to “take this child to Heaven” before the messenger suddenly passes away. With next to no information to go off, Kiruko and Maru set off on a journey in search of “Heaven”, all the while trying to avoid “Hiruko” – a strange creature who hunts the remaining members of the human race.
Starring Gen Sato (Dr Stone: New World, Hoshi no Samidare) as Maru; Sayaka Senbongi (Bocchi the Rock!, Extreme Hearts) as Kiruko; and Hibiku Yamamura (Buddy Daddies, Akiba Meido Sensou) as Tokio, Tengoku Daimakyo is produced by Production I.G., the masterminds behind Psycho-Pass and Ghost In The Shell, is written by Makoto Fukami (Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall) and is directed by Hirotaka Mori.
As part of today’s announcement, two previously unseen pieces of artwork from the upcoming series were also released, depicting Maru and Kiruko, and a group of children living in a beautiful walled world.
Set to debut April 1, with new episodes released every Saturday on Disney+, today’s announcement comes as part of The Walt Disney Company’s expanded strategic collaboration with leading publishing house Kodansha.
