About GIBIATE

Looking for background on GIBIATE (ジビエート)? This action and horror series by l-a-unch・BOX and Studio elle (2020) starts out like this. In short: In 2030, Japan. A virus has infected humans throughout the world.

Next up: Infected people turn into different forms of monsters based on their ages, sexes and races. The virus is named ‘Gibia’ - after being rich in variety like gibia. Just then, a pair of samurai and ninja appeared in such a blighted wasteland of Japan.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Yukiyo Fujii as Kathleen Funada and Tetsuya Kakihara as Sensui Kanzaki. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
