Teased at Geeked Week in 2021, we’ve waited more than a year to learn more about Otsuichi’s exciting horror sci-fi anime, Exception. Netflix revealed first-look images during Geeked Week 2022, and now we’ve learned that the anime will be released on Netflix in October 2022. Here’s everything we know so far about Exception season 1 on Netflix.
Exception is an upcoming Japanese Netflix Original animated horror sci-fi series created by Otsuichi, the award-winning novelist of Goth and ZOO.
Most notably, the characters of Exception have been designed by the legendary Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano, the man behind the beautiful art of the Final Fantasy franchise. Outside of his work on Japanese media, Amano collaborated with Neil Gaiman on Sandman: The Dream Hunters, earning a Bram Stoker award for his work.
During Netflix’s Geeked Week event in 2021, the upcoming anime horror Exception was revealed.
