Takeru Hokazono’s Kagurabachi (カグラバチ, 神楽蜂) is officially getting a TV anime adaptation, set to premiere in April 2027. Accompanying the announcement was an official teaser trailer and striking key visual, along with initial staff and cast details.
The highly anticipated series from Weekly Shonen Jump will be produced by studio Cypic (formerly Cygames Pictures) and directed by Tetsuya Takeuchi, known for his strong work on high-intensity action sequences. Keigo Sasaki (Blue Exorcist) joins as character designer. In the voice cast, rising star Taihi Kimura will portray the protagonist Chihiro Rokuhira.
