The Legacy of Monster Strike Anime
The Monster Strike franchise originates from a mobile gacha game launched by MIXI in 2013. The game, described as a “pull hunting RPG,” allows players to become Monster Masters. The series has seen several anime adaptations, including the Monster Strike the Animation ONA (Original Net Anime), which premiered in October 2015 and spanned three seasons, as well as various anime short films and movies. Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded marks a significant step as the first entry to receive a terrestrial television broadcast in Japan. Previous anime series like Arthur Kishiō no Kakusei and Noah Hakobune no Kyūseishu were also part of the franchise’s extensive animated offerings.
