posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Animax Asia announced on Wednesday that it will begin airing the television anime adaptation of Satoru Noda's Golden Kamuy manga on April 8, and will air a new episode every weekday at 9:30 p.m. GMT +8.
The first television anime season premiered in April 2018. The second season premiered in October 2018. A third season will premiere this October.
The manga centers on Saichi Sugimoto, a veteran of the Russo-Japanese war who heads to Hokkaido to find gold to take care of the wife of his fellow soldier. He teams up with an Ainu hunter named Asirpa to find a hidden stash of gold stored by criminals.
Noda launched the ongoing manga in Shueisha's Young Jump magazine in 2014. The manga's 15th compiled book volume shipped in September 2018, and it bundled an anime DVD focusing on the manga's Barato arc. The manga's 17th volume shipped in March 2019, and it also bundled an anime DVD. A third original anime video (OVA) for the Monster arc shipped with the manga's 19th volume last September. The 23rd volume will ship on September 18 with a fourth OVA episode that adapts the manga's "forbidden" "Shiton Animal Chronicles" story.
