A new key visual (below) illustrated by legendary artist Yoshitaka Amano (Vampire Hunter D, the Final Fantasy series) has been revealed for GIBIATE, an upcoming original TV anime about a ninja and a samurai who have slipped through time from the Edo period to a near-future Japan that is overrun by monsters created by a terrifying virus.

 

 

The story of GIBIATE is described as follows:

 

In 2030, Japan. A virus has infected humans throughout the world. Infected people turn into different forms of monsters based on their ages, sexes and races. The virus is named ‘Gibia’ - after being rich in variety like gibier. Just then, a pair of samurai and ninja appeared in such a blighted wasteland of Japan. They both travelled from the early Edo period, fighting together with help from a doctor who tries to find cure for Gibia. Facing ceaseless attacks from Gibia, and outlaws that attack travelers for food, they start the dangerous journey with enemies all around.
