The events of the mystical horror series “Kagewani” (Kagewani) unfold in modern Japan, where all thickets began to appear mysterious creatures – some cryptides. Not only that, they attack people. Professor Soske Banba sets out to investigate a string of strange deaths and disappearances. However, he has no clues other than the incomprehensible word kagevani.
The director of the anime with a rather unusual drawing of Kagevani is Tomoya Takashima, the scriptwriter is Hiroma Kumamoto. The cartoon was drawn by the animation studio Tomovies. On the creation of the appearance of the characters of the series worked Ami Fujikawa and Ryoma Hori, monsters – Shunsaku Matsurida. Produced by Tsutomu Nagae and Kentaro Iwakiri. The first series premiered on October 2, 2015 on BS11 and Tokyo MX.
Investigation
Three young journalists, who are not taken seriously, decide to visit a closed island, where, according to rumors, they saw a cryptide. They themselves seem to be rather skeptical about the existence of these monsters, as they decide not to wander through the forest in the hope of a sensation, but to film the monster mannequin they built. However, young people soon realize that they will not have to look for a sensation, because she has already found them. Only now we have to survive.
Members of the climbing team advancing to the top of the mountain are forced to stop very close to the goal - one of them may die from hypothermia, a person needs help, and to provide qualified medical care, he must be lowered from the mountain. Mika Kuroda doesn't want to go down when they're so close to the top. The fact is that six years ago her father disappeared on this mountain, and now she wants to find him. However, there is nothing you can do – the life of a person is at stake.
Crimination
The next morning, Mika wakes up and peeks out of the tent to wish good morning to fellow climbers, but sees only a bloodbath around, as if a herd of wild animals ran through the camp. Suddenly, the girl is stunned by a blow from behind, however, before losing consciousness, she has time to see her abuser. This is not a man or an animal, but some hitherto unseen monster.
This and other stories presented by the creators of the series “Kagevani”, it would seem, are not related to each other, but in fact they are part of a single storyline about monsters that invaded the human world and now threaten humanity. Sosuke Banba tries to get to the truth, but he is armed with no facts, only guesses and the strange word "kagevani", which is somehow associated with monsters. close
