It’s been revealed at Anime Expo<\/a> that 13 years after its debut, the dark action comedy Murci\u00e9lago is finally getting an anime, and it looks to be an incredibly wild ride. Yoshimurakana\u2019s Murci\u00e9lago stars Kuroko Koumori, a former death row inmate guilty of killing 715 people since childhood who\u2019s evaded death in exchange for working as a state-sanctioned executioner. Kuroko carries out her new job in tandem with Hinako Tozakura, a junior high student with crazy driving skills, and the series is all about their daily exploits of killing people and Kuroko hitting on every girl with a pulse.<\/p>\n

Murci\u00e9lago is one of the craziest action manga a person can read, a statement that\u2019s both a compliment and an insult, and 13 years after it made its debut, it\u2019s been announced at Anime Expo 2026 that Murci\u00e9lago will receive an anime adaptation streaming exclusively on HIDIVE in 2027<\/a>. That\u2019s still a long way away, but with how good the anime looks to be and how fun the original manga is, it\u2019s sure to be well worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Why Murci\u00e9lago Will Be An Incredible Anime To Watch In 2027<\/p>\n

Murci\u00e9lago might still be a year away, but there\u2019s still plenty of reason to be excited about it. Visually speaking, the teaser trailer showcases that Murci\u00e9lago will boast very fluid and all-around great art and animation courtesy of Satelight and Staple Entertainment, all of which will do wonders for both its comedy and action scenes. Series directors Takashi Naoya and Matsuo Asami are known for their work on Tales of Wedding Rings and Studio Deen’s Shiboyugi<\/a>, and with how fun those anime were, Murci\u00e9lago is bound to be even better.<\/p>\n

More than that, of course, will be the story. Murci\u00e9lago is a series that prides itself on audacious black comedy, with its jokes revolving around not only the extreme ways people die or get hurt, but the selfish and absurd ways the cast reacts to the violence and other terrible things that happen to themselves and others. That won\u2019t be appealing to everyone, but it\u2019s still nothing short of hilarious, and it will be great to watch in animation.<\/p>\n

That idea is even what makes a character like Kuroko appealing; Kuroko is a violent psychopath constantly preying on women, even if they\u2019re underage, but because the series is so over-the-top and rarely lets her get her way, it always loops back around to being funnier than it has any right being. Kuroko makes Murci\u00e9lago work specifically because she\u2019s such a terrible person, and it will be even more fun to watch her absurdity play out in animation in 2027.<\/p>\n

The 2020s Continue To Be An Amazing Era For Yuri Anime<\/p>\n

Something else that\u2019s noteworthy about Murci\u00e9lago getting an anime is that it further cements the 2020s as an amazing era for yuri anime. With shows like Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury and Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk, and even upcoming titles like I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day and CloverWorks\u2019 The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn\u2019t a Guy at All, yuri anime have slowly gone from a rarity to a staple of the community, and they even have great productions to complement their stories more often than not as well.<\/p>\n
