 NBCUniversal Entertainment has announced at AnimeJapan 2016 that the upcoming Drifters anime will be a TV series airing in 2016. The AnimeJapan booth for the series features the catchphrase "Battle in a Brand New World War." The official website has also been updated with an additional voice cast member. Mitsuru Miyamoto (Baccano!) will play the role of Murasaki, a mysterious man who is tied to the appearance of the "Drifters." The fifth volume of the manga, which will be released on June 6, will include a condensed version of the first two episodes. The condensed OVA will be 36 minutes in duration and will be released before the TV anime begins airing. Source: Ota☆Suke Drifters OVA on MAL |

| It looks like what the new Berserk series should have been. |
| I was kind of hoping the whole thing would be an OVA but I guess the good thing is that we won't have to wait a long time between episodes. I hope it's not censored too much though. |

| >TV series Oh no, here comes unlimited censorship works. |

| ^ ^ Did you guys even watch the trailer? That's definitely not censored. |
| Glad to hear that it's a TV series. In the meantime, I think it will likely be a 1-cour. |
 |
| Looks like we won't have to wait that long after all. I hope they keep up that quality shown in the PV throughout its entire run. And oh, let's keep the censoring to a minimum. |
| Well that's some pretty good news. The manga is amazing, and knowing tha Madhouse will do it, gives it a big edge. One thing is for sure, it will be amazing. |

| But the mango has only 4 volumes... I hope we get a "Drifters Ultimate" someday. |

Didn't think they would be able to release a straight 2-cour season any way with the quality shown in the PV, assuming they want to keep up that quality like they did with Hellsing Ultimate. |
It depends on a channel and producers politics. Judging by trailer, producers don't plan to censor it so let's wait for broadcast announcement. |
 |
| Guess it'll be an Autumn series then, given that they haven't announced it for Summer. Very hyped whatever happens. |

The OVA was done by Madhouse. And that was the information that was shown in the PV. |
| real isseaki series is coming baby! now, sit patently for it. |

Doomdoctor said: But the mango has only 4 volumes... I hope we get a "Drifters Ultimate" someday. Chances are they will just cover up to a certain point and then do another series a year or two latter. |

Fai said: Doomdoctor said: But the mango has only 4 volumes... I hope we get a "Drifters Ultimate" someday. Chances are they will just cover up to a certain point and then do another series a year or two latter. I hope so. But Hirano's too slow. So, I doubt we'll get another season in one or two years. |
|
| At least i won't have to wait that long between chapters, hope they do a good adaptation but since it's done mostly by people who made Hellsing Ultimate i can rest assured that it would turn out just fine. |
| I'm really glad this got confirm as a TV series...Now all that remains is to play the waiting game >_< |
 |
| Hnnng. Cant wait this show and 4th volume of manga(translated) |
| This synopsis actually looks legit interesting. I'll be checking it out. |
