release dates of anime Joran: The Princess of Snow and Blood

Set in an alternate history Japan during the Meiji era, this dark anime series follows Sawa Yukimura, a member of a secret executioner group called Nue that serves the Tokugawa Shogunate. In this reimagined world, the Tokugawa regime never fell and continues to rule into the early 20th century, using advanced technology and ruthless tactics to maintain power. Sawa possesses mysterious supernatural abilities tied to her blue blood, which she uses to eliminate enemies of the state. However, her true motivation is personal vengeance—she seeks to find and kill the man with a distinctive snake tattoo who murdered her family and destroyed her village when she was a child. As she carries out her assassination missions, she becomes entangled in political conspiracies and revolutionary movements that threaten the established order. The series blends historical fiction with supernatural elements, featuring stylized action sequences and a atmospheric noir aesthetic that explores themes of revenge, loyalty, and the price of power.
