While the Hell’s Paradise anime adaptation was announced back in early 2021, it took quite a while before more info on the show was revealed. Now though, along with the cast and April 2023 release date, Jigokuraku has released a new trailer as well.
Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Voice Cast
The show’s voice cast was finally revealed at Jump Festa 2023, and it includes Chiaki Kobayashi as the protagonist Gabimaru. Joining him is Yumiri Hanamori as Yamada Asaemon Sagiri. Kobayashi is a voice actor who is known for voicing several popular characters, including the likes of Askeladd in Vinland Saga, Yuuichi Katagiri in Tomodachi Game, and Makoto Edamura in Great Pretender. Meanwhile, Hanamori is another popular voice actress who is best known by anime fans as the voice of Ai Hayasaka in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Nadeshiko Kagamihara in Yuru Camp, and Akira Asai in Call of the Night. These two main stars are joined by other popular Japanese VAs, including:
Ryohei Kimura as Aza ChobeiKensho Ono as Yamada Asaemon TomaRie Takahashi as YuzurihaTetsu Inada as Tamiya GantetsusaiAoi Ichikawa as Yamada Asaemon Fuchi
Given that the manga series is already popular even before the anime was announced, it should be no surprise to see the show tap several well-known VAs to join the cast. YOU MIGHT LIKE: The Best Completed Manga Series to Read From Start to Finish
Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku Anime Release Date
Jigokuraku is the latest Shonen Jump+ manga to be made into an anime series following the likes of Romantic Killer, Summer Time Rendering, and Spy x Family. Handling animation duties is studio MAPPA, arguably one of the busiest anime studios in Japan right now. Many anime fans are likely familiar with MAPPA through their work on Attack on Titan: The Final Season, Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen, and more. Given how many anime projects MAPPA already has on its plate, some fans are worried that the studio’s animators will be stretched too thin. Some are already concerned about the new preview video which some fans think is pre-animated. This means the final product may look different from the promotional video. Despite these concerns, many are still excited to see the anime when it premieres in April 2023. Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku will be released on Crunchyroll in America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific countries (except Australia, New Zealand, and China) will be able to watch the show on Netflix. Discover more anime news and info by following us on Twitter @epicstreamanime.
