Meet BLACK TORCH, an action, adventure and fantasy anime by 100studio (2026). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: Jirou Azuma is no average high schooler. A descendant of ninjas and trained in the age-old warrior art of the shinobi, Jirou is also able to talk with animals.

As things develop, after an enigmatic encounter with an injured cat named Ragou, Jirou learns the feline is actually the legendary Black Star of Doom! Joined by the Bureau of Espionage, they confront off swarms of mononoke lying in wait to exploit Ragou’s abilities.

This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
