Enjoy this tour of English accents as Crunchyroll shows us what would happen if Great Britain was sealed away behind a dome of alien purple energy.
Revealed at New York Comic Con, with a 2022 release date, FreakAngels is a Crunchyroll Original.
If you’re not a Londoner, what do you think of when someone says Whitechapel? For me, Jack the Ripper.
FreakAngels, I wonder, flips that around, so the killers are protectors. Just a guess, though.
Here’s the official synopsis from the streaming platform.
Welcome to Whitechapel: last bastion of humanity. Six years ago, the world “ended” in a single, apocalyptic event, trapping Great Britain behind a mysterious dome of purple energy. London’s last neighborhood has persevered thanks to the protection of the “FreakAngels” — a small group of psychically-powered twenty-three-year-olds. Their fragile peace becomes threatened, however, when an exiled friend returns, exposing past conspiracies and new conflicts within their fractured, makeshift family. Can Whitechapel survive?
Presumably, the anime is based on the Warren Ellis Freakangels comic book series. Ellis’ has not had a good publicity run, so that might be why the connection to the creator hasn’t been highlighted exactly.
