DMM and Asahi Production’s collab project, Giant Beasts of Ars, would become a much-anticipated anime. It is slated for a January 2023 release and is an entirely new and original story.
It is set in a period of magic, swords, Gods, and more which isn’t anything out of the ordinary unless you look at the plot.
The teaser shows that the story involves a war between humans and giants called Kyoju. Its protagonist is a man named Jiiro, who hunts Kyoju as a source of income.
In reality, the land had originally belonged to Kyoju, who created it but were upset when humans took over. As a result, Kyoju started eating humans, and a feud began between the two species.
