Hell's Character Designs

The Official Twitter Account for Jigokurako released the new character designs for the upcoming series that might be one of the more violent anime to hit the small screen in 2023:

If you haven't had the opportunity to learn more about Hell's Paradise, the series is set to arrive on Crunchyroll next year, with the streaming service releasing an official description of Gabimaru's story as he fights humans and monsters alike: 

"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?"
