Earlier today the official website for the television anime of Satoru Noda's Golden Kamuy manga revealed a brand new visual poster for the series as well as the official date of the series premiere! The premiere will be on April 9th, the series will air on Tokyo MX at 11:00 p.m. before airing later that evening on YTV, Sapporo TV, and BS11. The series will also air on the Jidaigeki Senmon Channel starting on April 13. The anime will stream in Japan only on the Fuji-on-Demand (FOD) service starting on April 9th at 11:30 p.m.
Here is a look at the new visual poster down below for your viewing pleasure:
The manga is described as:
In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi “Immortal” Sugimoto scratches out a meager existence during the postwar gold rush in the wilderness of Hokkaido. When he stumbles across a map to a fortune in hidden Ainu gold, he sets off on a treacherous quest to find it. But Sugimoto is not the only interested party, and everyone who knows about the gold will kill to possess it! Faced with the harsh conditions of the northern wilderness, ruthless criminals and rogue Japanese soldiers, Sugimoto will need all his skills and luck—and the help of an Ainu girl named Asirpa—to survive.
