Hell's Paradise Creator Shares New Update on the Anime's Progress

By Nick Valdez

Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku is one of the many action manga series making its anime debut next year, and the creator behind it all has updated fans on how the new adaptation is coming along! Yuji Kaku's original manga series wrapped up its run with Shueisha's Jump+ app back in 2021, but now the series is gearing up to reach a whole new wave of fans as its official anime adaptation kicks off next Spring. Now that the premiere is getting closer to its full launch, fans have gotten some steady updates as to how it's all coming together.

Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku took the stage at Jump Festa 2023 this past weekend in Japan, and revealed a new trailer along with confirming an April 2023 release. This update also came with the confirmation of the main voice cast behind the series, and series creator Yuji Kaku weighed in on this cast and gave them their blessing with a new update shared directly with fans during the event. 

What's Coming in Hell's Paradise's Anime?

"I had a chance to listen to the voices of the cast members," Kaku began in a special message to fans at Jump Festa 2023. "It was the same as what I had imagined while I was drawing the characters. It felt like the characters were coming to life. I'm already getting excited about how the anime Hell's Paradise is going to turn out with the support of the animators, music composers, and background artists. Next year, there will be a stage play as well. I hope all of the fans will enjoy both projects! I'll be looking forward to them!"

It won't be too much longer before we get to see it all in action as Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku will be streaming with Crunchyroll next Spring. They hype the anime as such, "The Edo period is nearing its end. Gabimaru, a shinobi formerly known as the strongest in Iwagakure who is now a death row convict, is told that he will be acquitted and set free if he can bring back the Elixir of Life from an island that is rumored to be the Buddhist pure land Sukhavati. In hopes of reuniting with his beloved wife, Gabimaru heads to the island along with the executioner Yamada Asaemon Sagiri. Upon arriving there, they encounter other death row convicts in search of the Elixir of Life... as well as a host of unknown creatures, eerie manmade statues, and the hermits who rule the island. Can Gabimaru find the Elixir of Life on this mysterious island and make it back home alive?"
