Chiru Labs’ “Web3 anime brand” Azuki and advertising agency Dentsu have teamed up to reveal plans for a new three-part anime anthology series titled Enter the Garden, featuring Goro Taniguchi—the director of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, One Piece Film: Red and more—as producer. The series will kick off with the first part, “The Waiting Man,” on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 and will be available exclusively via Azuki’s official website and YouTube channel. Parts two and three will follow “in the coming months.”
Junichi Yamamoto (Haigakura) directs “The Waiting Man,” with Taku Kishimoto (Haikyu!!) writing and Kinu Nishimura (Overman King Gainer) providing character designs. The cast includes Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki in Gintama), Akari Kito (Nezuko in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) and Jun Fukuyama (Lelouch Lamperouge in Code Geass). Azuki, Dentsu, Qzil.la and IMAGICA Infos are producing the anthology.
Here’s how Azuki describes “The Waiting Man”:
Haru, a free-spirited skater, has always felt like a misfit in a world where she’s constantly told how to behave. One day, Haru meets T.K., a mysterious man sitting next to a vending machine, waiting for someone to appear.
