Even if you’re not into horror or gaming, you would have heard about Resident Evil at least once in your life. It may have been from a gaming freak or a zombie enthusiast because this franchise is best known for these two things.
Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is an upcoming anime based on the widespread franchise Resident Evil, and this one will show you fear. *reference to trailer 😉*
Netflix released a full-length trailer for its original anime Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and confirmed its premiere on July 8th!
The anime is set in 2006, after the events of Resident Evil 4. Good news is that we have Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield coming back as the protagonists!!
The animation is anything but your regular anime artstyle. It is so realistic that it took me a few seconds to realize that it is an animation and not a live-action.
Netflix also revealed a key visual along with the trailer.
The visual shows Leon, Claire, Jason, and Shen May with an apocalyptic setting in the background.
But here comes the best part, Nick Apostolides and Stephanie Panisello from the 2019 Resident Evil 2 are reprising their roles as Leon and Claire!! How exciting is that???
The rest of the voice cast of the anime was also revealed:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Leon S. Kennedy | Nick Apostolides | Frank Bowers (Life is Strange) |
| Claire Redfield | Stephanie Panisello | Cloud Retainer (Genshin Impact) |
| Jason | Ray Chase | Ryoumen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen English Dub) |

| Wilson | Brad Venable | Griffin/ Nightmare (Devil May Cry 5) |
| Graham | Joe J. Thomas | Nobunaga Hazama (Hunter x Hunter English Dub) |

The cast lineup looks phenomenal, and I just know it will turn out amazing like c’mon, it’s Resident Evil, what can go wrong?!
