Viz Media has announced a new Rooster Fighter anime based on the popular manga at their anime panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2024.

The new Rooster Fighter anime will be co-produced by Hero’s Inc and Viz Media, which is based on Shu Sakuratani’s acclaimed fowl manga. Here’s a teaser trailer, plus some celebratory artwork from its original creator:

Daisuke Suzuki will serve as director, from Sanzigen Production. Hiroshi Seko, who wrote for Jujutsu Kaisen x Mob Psycho 100, will serve as lead screenwriter. Joseph Chou and Sola Entertainment will serve as executive producers.

While no release date has been revealed, Viz Media said the Rooster Fighter anime will be released on Adult Swim and they stated that “further streaming platforms will be announced across all territories soon.”

“Rooster Fighter is finally being made into an anime!,” creator Shu Sakuratani said. “Ever since becoming a manga artist, my biggest goal was to have my work adapted into an anime. So, I can’t tell you how happy I am to see my dream come true!

“This is all thanks to my readers’ continued support and Hero’s and VIZ Media’s contributions. I extend my gratitude to all of you. I believe “Rooster Fighter” is very blessed. We have the best director, the best writer, the best production staff, and the best voice actors all working together to create the best anime.”

Sakuratani added, “As the original creator, I am ecstatic! I can’t wait to see Keiji and the gang come to life on TV. I hope that everyone out there will enjoy this anime where chickens take center stage!”

Rooster Fighter was published by Sakuratani on Hero’s Inc.’s Comiplex website since December of 2020, later getting an English translation from Viz Media. The manga was very popular among Central and South American countries due to the cock traveling to Mexico, Brazil, and Peru.
