Hell's Paradise Anime Episode Count Revealed

The Hell's Paradise anime has begun airing as one of the leading new anime releases hitting this month as part of the Spring 2023 anime schedule, and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku has revealed how many episodes the anime's first season will be sticking around for! Yuji Kaku's Hell's Paradise manga wrapped up its run with Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ app a couple of years ago, but the franchise is coming back to life as the Hell's Paradise anime has now made its debut this Spring. But there's been a question as to how long it would run. 

Hell's Paradise Episode 1 has now hit screens around the world, and the official website for the Hell's Paradise anime is now listing the anime's debut season with 13 episodes in total across two Blu-ray and DVD volume releases overseas. This makes it a single cour anime for Hell's Paradise's Spring debut, and given how much of the manga there is to cover, it remains to be seen whether or not Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku has future plans beyond this initial season.
