About MFKZ

Meet MFKZ (ムタフカズ -MUTAFUKAZ-), an action, comedy and psychological anime by Studio 4°C (2017). Here is the premise in a nutshell. At its core: Angelino is just one of thousands of deadbeats living in Dark Meat Town. But an otherwise unremarkable scooter accident caused by a beautiful, mysterious stranger is about to transform his life... into a waking nightmare!

As things develop, he starts seeing monstrous forms prowling around all over the town... Is Angelino losing his mind, or could an alien invasion really be happening this quietly...?

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Angelino (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) and Vinz (Tokio Emoto) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
