 A television anime adaptation of Bunou Fujisawa's Mars Red musical stage play was announced by Yomiuri TV Enterprise on Thursday, scheduled to air in 2021. The television anime is being co-produced by North American anime distributor Funimation.Synopsis Mars Red takes place in 1923, and vampires have existed for quite a while. But now, the number of vampires is increasing and a mysterious, artificial blood source called Ascra has appeared. The Japanese government, in turn, creates "Code Zero," an unit within the army tasked with taking down the vampiric forces. And what better way to track vampires than by using vampires? Created by Lieutenant General Nakajima, this unit has historically been in the business of information war, but has been re-assigned to solve the vampire crisis.

| Speaking of Bunou Fujisawa, he had conversational interview w. Yuki Kaji in March issue of Nikkei Entertainment!'s serialization En. (Sorry it doesn't seem related, but just wanted to mention since I saw his name) https://twitter.com/KAJI_staff/status/1224641206518304768 |

| Nice, i like the art style, i'm only worried if it'll be gorey by the description, hopefully not and it's more like Bungou Stray Dogs where it just shows blood. Will add to ptw for now. |

| I dunno why, but the Taisho era setting has me a bit more interested. |

| Gotta say, based on the synopsis then Mars Red sounds a lot less interesting than Red Mars |
