Kemono Jihen is set in a world where humans coexist with supernatural creatures, spirits, and demons, referred to as “Kemono.”
The occult fantasy shonen manga by Sho Aimoto combines detective fiction with horror and supernatural elements.
The official website for Kemono Jihen TV anime has revealed its release date. The series will premiere on TOKYO MX on January 10, 2021.
The official website also revealed the two theme songs of the anime – the opening song “Kemonomichi” (Path of The Beast) by voice actor Daisuke Ono and the ending song “Shirushi” (The Mark) by the singer Sayaka Sasaki.
With no news on the episode list, we should expect the animation studio to adapt at least the first five volumes of the manga, to pack the story with enough oomph!
