Babylon Season 1: Premiere Date, Plot, Characters

Coming from Revoroot Studio, which has only produced 3 anime shows to date, nothing much has been revealed about ‘Babylon’ yet. But from the trailer, it appears to be a mystery thriller which, if executed properly, could take the world of anime by storm, pretty much like ‘Monster‘. While most anime viewers may not be familiar with this show, the ones who have had the chance to get a glimpse of Mado Nozaki’s brilliant novel series will know that this anime is worth getting all the hype.

It’s a little hard to ascertain the quality or the style of its animation from the trailer, but for the most part of it, it seems decent. From what we know about the novels, the anime’s plot will delve deep into political stuff and will explore dark themes like suicide/euthanasia. So it really looks like a very unusual anime adaptation that can certainly be enjoyed by those who are into psychological thriller shows. But as interesting as it may seem right now, only time will tell if it will actually be worth our time or not.

As of now, neither the anime nor its source material is all that popular and nothing much about it has been revealed yet except for a very brief trailer. But as soon as we get any news regarding this season, we will update it here in this section.
