The official Twitter of Shogakukan Manga One editor Shou Kobayashi has announced on Sunday that the action-fantasy manga "Helck" is receiving a TV anime adaptation. An announcement illustration visual was revealed to commemorate the adaptation decision. No other details were revealed as of writing.

It's up to one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Empire, Red Vamirio, to discover and unfold Helck's true intentions.
