Welcome back to the I Am Anime website
It has been announced that “Darwin Incident,” which has been decided to be made into a TV anime, will be broadcast from January 2026. Along with this, a teaser PV with voices from the suspicious man Rivera and a second teaser visual have been released.
“Darwin Incident” is a human and non-human drama manga by Umezawa Shun, serialized in Kodansha’s monthly comic magazine Afternoon. Humansy Charlie, born between humans and chimpanzees, faces problems facing humanity, such as terrorism, flame wars, and discrimination, as “non-human” beings.
The total number of copies of the series, up to volume 8 of the latest comics, has exceeded 1.8 million. He also won the Grand Prize for the Manga Award 2022, the 10th place in the Manga Edition of “This Manga is Amazing! 2022,” the Excellence Award for the Manga Division at the 25th Agency for Cultural Affairs Media Arts Festival, and the 2nd place in the Recommended Comics 2022 selected by the publisher’s comics representative. He was also selected as an Asian section at the “BDGest’Arts” held at the 50th Angouleme International Manga Festival in France, and is highly popular not only in Japan but also overseas.
It has been decided that the TV anime for this work will start airing in January 2026. Charlie, a hybrid human-chimpanzee crossbreed, human-chimpanzee, has become a “new new hero,” and a sci-fi action story that will shake up society is finally beginning.
The newly released teaser PV depicts Charlie’s inhuman physical abilities. There are also ominous explosion scenes, the existence of a mysterious organization, and Rivera, a man with a suspicious smile. The footage is expected to see a drama that will spark around Humangy Charlie.
And at the end of the PV, Rivera’s voice was terrifying. We look forward to further news on who Rivera’s cast is, which has not yet been revealed.
The second teaser visual was also unveiled, featuring a large depiction of Rivera, a suspicious, mysterious smile. Of course, Charlie is at the top of his smile and hands. Why are you reaching out and what is the meaning behind the line “Humangy, you’re special”? This is a picture that exudes unsettlingness.
The TV anime “Darwin Incident” will begin airing in January 2026. Let’s look forward to further news.
