 Four new anime projects were announced by production company Twin Engine namely new anime adaptation of Dororo, Babylon, Pet, and Vinland Saga. The previously announced Karakuri Circus anime is also a part of the studio's upcoming lineup. The broadcast information will be revealed later, but it has already announced that all of these anime will be available on Amazon Prime Video. Additionally, Twin Engine will have booths and stages at this year's AnimeJapan featuring the final episode screening of Kokkoku, talk shows for Golden Kamuy featuring the cast members, Karakuri Circus featuring the staff members and the upcoming Penguin Highway anime film featuring the staff members. Karakuri Circus A new key visual and teaser PV have been revealed for the upcoming Karakuri Circus TV anime. Studio VOLN will animate the adaptation. Teaser Dororo In collaboration with studio MAPPA and Tezuka Productions, Osamu Tezuka's four-volume manga will receive a new anime adaptation. The manga was serialized under Kodansha's Shounen Sunday magazine from August 1967 to July 1968. A full TV anime series helmed by director Gisaburou Sugii (Glass no Kamen) was broadcast in 1988 by Mushi Production, succeeding a 14-minute pilot film of the series. North American publisher Vertical Inc. published the manga in single and omnibus editions in 2008 and 2012, respectively. Discotek Media has released both the TV anime and special as a complete collection in 2016. Synopsis A samurai lord has bartered away his newborn son's organs to forty-eight demons in exchange for dominance on the battlefield. Yet, the abandoned infant survives thanks to a medicine man who equips him with primitive prosthetics—lethal ones with which the wronged son will use to hunt down the multitude of demons to reclaim his body one piece at a time, before confronting his father. On his journeys the young hero encounters an orphan who claims to be the greatest thief in Japan. (Source: Vertical Inc.) Teaser Official site: https://dororo-anime.com/ Official Twitter: @dororo_anime Babylon Mado Nozaki's Babylon novel series receives an anime in cooperation with an up-and-coming studio REVOROOT. Kodansha Taiga has been publishing the novel with three volumes released so far. Synopsis Zen Seizaki, a public prosecutor at Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, is investigating a case of illegal clinical research related to a drug company and a university. During the investigation, he finds a file that Shin Inaba, an anesthesiologist, kept, which includes blood that is mixed with hair, skin, and a paper written with letter F. As he investigates, he realized there's a hidden plot that is connected with a huge election as well as to a certain person who is in charge of it. Teaser Official site: https://babylon-anime.com/ Official Twitter: @babylon_anime Pet The previously announced project of director Takahiro Omori at Geno Studio has been revealed as the adaptation of Ranjou Miyake's remastered edition of Pet manga. Furthermore, it has been revealed that Sadayuki Murai will handle the anime's series composition. Synopsis There are people who can get into people's mind and control their memories. This power is used to eradicate mysteries and cases or worse, to assassinate. The potential of the said power is strong enough that it is able to destroy people's mind, however, can backfire and eat up their own heart. To counter it, chains are used to lock and protect each other's weak and dangerous heart. From one's growing fear and disdain, they're consequently called as a "Pet." Teaser Official site: https://pet-anime.com/ Official Twitter: @pet_anime Vinland Saga The viking-themed manga by Makoto Yukimura receives an anime adaptation by Wit Studio. The manga began serialization in Kodansha's monthly Afternoon magazine since July 2005 and has accumulated more than five million published copies. Kodansha Comics has been releasing the manga as 2-in-1 omnibuses since October 2013. Synopsis For a thousand years, the Vikings have made quite a name and reputation for themselves as the strongest families with a thirst for violence. Thorfinn, the son of one of the Vikings' greatest warriors, spends his boyhood in a battlefield enhancing his skills in his adventure to redeem his most-desired revenge after his father was murdered.

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Well, let's wait and see how many of those will be actually worth. |
 |
| I think i fucking love Twin Engine now. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Anime is fucking saved God bless wit studio |
 |
| Holy Sh*t what a line-up..!!! MOFOS indeed!! |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| Wow, Vinland Saga anime announced. This can't be the real life. |
 |
| Vinland Saga better have at least a 100 episodes. If they are going to try to cover that in a one-or two cour anime, they will fail prematurely. |

| Twin Engine got a lot of good work on their hands in particular Vinland Saga. It's about time this got an anime adaptation, long overdue. |
 |
| Dororo, Pet and Vinland Saga all sound right up my alley, so I'll be eagerly waiting for them to air. |
| Twin Engine is production studio not animation so hold your horses. |
 |
| Dororo and Vinland Saga, that is just straight fire. Lestat- said: Vinland Saga better have at least a 100 episodes. If they are going to try to cover that in a one-or two cour anime, they will fail prematurely. The prologue arc up to chapter 53 is perfect for a self-contained 2 cour anime. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| *Imagine if Takemitsuzamurai gets also adapt and has the same counterparts between the beyond tier-animation... like Dororo * Sasuga... MAPPA |

"Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"-- -- |
| The day has finally come for a Vinland Saga adaptation. Definitely one of the most wished-for adaptations, hopefully it turns out nicely and faithful to the manga. One thing I'm kinda sceptical about is how much content they'll cover. Dororo remake is the most surprising on this list to me, never expected to see that considering the manga is 50 years old. PV looks to be animated by Shinya Ohira, what a feast for my eyes. Others look fairly interesting as well. Takahiro Omori as director of Pet is enough to capture my attention. Promising line-up. RnDNEET021 said: *Imagine if Takemitsuzamurai gets also had adapt and has the same counterparts between the beyond tier-animation... like Dororo * Sasuga... MAPPA Takemitsuzamurai adapted in the same style shown in the Dororo PV would be fucking fantastic but I doubt it'll happen anytime soon. |

| Shit got real, I hype for Dororo |
| I have no clue who/what Studio Twin Engine are but I just know that I love them right now. What a time to be an anime fan. |
 |
| Stop it I can only take so much. Twin Engine might become my new favorite producers. I'm very excited for all of these, especially for Vinland Saga and Karakuri Circus. |
| :3 |
| Reading the synopsis Dororo, Pet and Vinland Saga were the most interesting one, looking out for it. |
 |
| First time I've heard of Twin Engine, but I already fucking love these guys. I'm pretty hyped for Vinland Saga and thank god it's by Wit studio And Dororo is looking great pretty excited for it |
| Just̰͙͔͈ͧͣͫͨ́ Mon͓̮͓ͧ̿̅̒͗iͨ̅̇ͤ̑̇͒̚҉̘̪ka͓͕͓̱̯͂͋́͗ |
| Vinland Saga... Oh my fucking god O_O And it's Wit Studio, the perfect studio for the series. Am I dreaming? |
 |
| My god Wit Studio and Vinland Saga, u rly cant go wrong with this |
| Dororo and Vinland Saga is gonna be the true AOTY of 2018, we'll see about that. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| All of them looks lit af, I'm looking forward. Finally I have an excuse to read Vinland Saga, and Dororo is giving me shivers. |
| Babylon will be the best one. |
 |
| PRAISE THE LORD!!!! VINLAND SAGA!!!! I swear to got if this turns into another Berserk 2016, I will quit anime... |
| I just might check out all 5 of these, they all look pretty interesting. I'm most excited for Dororo (I have a weak spot for samurai stuff) and Vinland Saga, as I've heard good things about this manga. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| this is great news. Vinland saga is one of my favorite manga ever. And loved how studio WIT adapted SNK, my favorite anime so far. Cant wait for vinland saga ost!!!!! Hope they give it a middle age-esque vibes in terms of instrument selection and chord progressions. |
| :v |
| Dororo Pv is preanimated and is made by staff unrelated to the TV anime. I hate this practice where they make fake PVs to hype people The PV was animated by Takuji Miyamoto and he's already implied he won't work on the actual show. He said he was hired just to animate the Pv. |
Z4KMar 19, 2018 10:23 AM
| They're saving anime, guys! Twin Engine has made a name for itself with these announcements!! |
| Awsm anime lineup..wit studio doing Vinland Saga...good times sure r coming up Just if some good studio did vagabond anime.. |
| Pray to fucking god Vinland Saga isn't censored to all hell. Also praying for a season 2 past the prologue. |
| OMG.... Vinland Saga done by WIT was my dream adaptation recently after reading the manga just a few weeks ago thank you WIT please do your best on this new favorite of mine. I never ever expected this manga to get an anime I hope I am not dreaming. |

 |
| Vinland Saga? Holy shit! I've heard a lot about the manga and I'm really looking forward to this. |
 |
| I'm pretty sure I've played a game a long long time ago that was just like Dororo. Nevertheless I'm very curious about the upcoming anime. If there's someone that can animate Vinland Saga's stunning art into anime, then that's definitely Wit Studio. I have very high expectations of them. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| That's some great news! I was always kind of interested in Vinland saga but I was still hesitant to read it, but now that there is an anime coming, I guess I'll watch it first and see If It Interest me enough to read the manga. Dororo and Karakuri Circus also seems Good. |
| It a good tendency to animate a older manga, than a make with machine gun speed adaptation about isekai stuff to promote a novel. Now, please animate such manga: Eden: it's an endless world (movie format would be more appropriate), Liar Game (live action is too original, even though Matsuda Shota are even better Akiyama, than original), 20th Century Boys (i don't want to watch the movies) or Billy Bat, Hentai Kamen (movies are fun, but all budget gone into making spider-manlike eyes). |
 |
| Damn! Nice! All of these look really interesting at the very least, and some of them look incredible! Just look at the quality of the animation in that Dororo trailer! Definitely a fan of this studio already. |
