Square Enix launched a new project called Deep Insanity for all those thriller fans. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where mysterious creatures reside.
Deep Insanity will not just be limited to anime as it aims to branch out into other media as well.
The catch, however, is that none of them have the same storyline. Yes, you read that right! The manga, anime, and the game follow stories that are set in different timelines of the world.
The Deep Insanity franchise revealed a PV for the upcoming anime, Deep Insanity: The Lost Child, that will premiere in October 2021.
The main plot of the franchise focuses on this widespread disease called the Randolph Syndrome. The disease immediately sends the person into a comatose state.
The syndrome is believed to have originated from the South Pole in a place called ‘Asylum,’ which has many mysteries hidden inside.
The anime centers around the protagonist Daniel Kai Shigure, who, as shown in the PV, visits the Asylum and is standing on its edge. He has a certain wish he hopes to fulfill there.
Hiro Shimono voices Daniel’s character. Hiro has also played Conny Springer in Attack on Titan and Zenitsu Agatsuma in Demon Slayer.
The anime is set in the period between the manga and the game’s storylines.
Other than this, the staff working on anime is just excellent, and we have them listed right here for you!

Our protagonist, Woo Inominetas, survives a massacre in a medical facility and comes out as the only one alive. The other characters in the game were also shown in the teaser.

The manga Deep Insanity or Deep Insanity: Nirvana has been going on ever since January 2020 and a short video was also released for it.
Various panels and characters from the manga are shown in the PV, including the main characters: Sergiu Sol and Hildegard Olympiada Yamada.
The anime is really intriguing, and the manga is already receiving much praise from the readers. The plot digs into the whole post-apocalyptic world on a whole other level.
I am really excited for the anime and game to be released now!
