(Hi) Helck

[Stark700]

Helck manga is getting an anime adaptation.

Synopsis

While humanity celebrates the defeat of the Demon King by the hands of a lone hero, the denizens of the demon world prepare for the contest of a lifetime—a tournament to decide who would inherit the title of Demon King.

Now, three months later, the tournament has been proceeding smoothly—well, other than the fact that the favorite to come out on top is the human hero Helck! With a smile and a wave, he easily bests his demonic competition, all while loudly proclaiming his hatred for humans. Though he calls for the destruction of humanity, the truth of what lies behind his cheery façade remains a mystery.

Doubtful of Helck's intentions, Red Vamirio—one of the "Four Heavenly Kings," who oversee the realm of the demons together—seeks to uncover what the hero is truly after. With the title of "Demon King" at stake, the fate of the demon world rests on her shoulders.

First Biscuit Hammer, then Bastard and now Helck!

This is really shaping up to be a banner year.

[kari-no-sugata II]

Fuck yeah! Let's go!

[Tenzen12]

Oh my gosh! We are getting anime of season. It doesn't even matter what else will be there!

[frubam]

HOLY S***!!! Never thought I'd see the day! Absolutely LOVED the story!

If this is successful enough, maybe we'll finally get that next story arc after the manga ended that was supposed to come, but never did.

First Biscuit Hammer and now Helck? Let's go!

Is it Netflix again? I'm not going to complain but having western media companies going through anime/manga like they did cape comics is a monkey paw wish.

[Metaneo]

well, this is probably the best anime announcement I've heard in years!

[Guardian Enzo]

Is “Helck” a pun on hell and heck?

1 . This excellent news who thought need 4 year for adaptation, i hope Yugami kun WA tomodachi get anime adaptation as well someday.

2. Hopefully no genius out there suggest to use CGI animation.

I can get behind that.

Nope, Helck is supposed to be a portmanteau of He-man and Heracles. Mind you it's been years since I read this fact, nor am I sure of it's validity.

[Guardian Enzo]

Too bad, it fits so neatly. But the average Japanese person probably has no idea what “heck” even is.

[shmaster]

This is great, but can they cover the whole series.
Heck isn't worth it if they can't cover it in its entirety.

[Kanon]

I've actually never even heard of this manga. I can see there's a lot of excitement so I'm on board.

Relax, in most cases it's just streaming rights like crunchyroll or funimation do, the key difference is just the advertisement they use.

[tsunade666]

T_T manly tears, darn. Badass news.

[Kafriel]

DAAAAAAYUM! I don't believe this, what's going on this year!? For those not in the know, Helck is a relatively short tale, full of comedy, action and drama. It remains one of the best stories I've read, and I'm 100% psyched to see it animated.
I will support, however, that it needs full exposure, half the story just doesn't cut it in this situation. Fingers crossed~
