The official Twitter for the Satsuriku no Tenshi franchise has announced that the game will receive a TV anime. More information will be revealed at a later time via official Twitter.

Synopsis
13-year-old Rachel awakens to find herself trapped in the basement of an abandoned building. Without any memories, or even a clue as to where she could be, she wanders the building, lost and dizzy. In her search, she comes across a man covered in bandages. He introduces himself as Zack, and he wields a grim-reaper like sickle.

A strange bond is struck between them, strengthened by strange, crazy promises…

These two, trapped in this strange building, don't know why fate has placed them there. But they will work together desperately to find a way out… (Source: MU, Edited)

Satsuriku no Tenshi is a psychological horror adventure game that was first released on the Den Faminico Game Magazine website in September 2015. The game was released in English under the title Angels of Death via the Steam platform in December 2016. It is also available in Traditional Chinese and Korean. The manga adaptation, which is drawn by Kudan Nazuka and based on Makoto Sanada iteration of the series, has been serialized in Comic Gene magazine since October 2015. There is also a prequel, titled Episode 0, made by the same mangaka duo as well as the 4-koma manga Satsuten!, which is drawn by negiyan via pixiv Manga. Both the fifth compiled volume of Satsuriku no Tenshi and first compiled volume of Satsuriku no Tenshi Episode 0 will be released on July 27, 2017.

It's looks like targeted at female audience. disappointing..
MAL has no influence on Japanese Anime/Otaku industry so Self-righteous Elitist people here are really wasting their time on writing 'Critical Reviews'.

This seems like my type of shit that I'll like. But given its a game adaptation... Hmm. I mean, will see about that. But the concept is pretty nice and interesting as well as I like Psycho Horror Adventures. But I'll keep an eye on this and if there's more details/info about it (the staff, etc.)

A josei anime, nice. Plus the plot sounds nice and a thriller type anime aimed at females after a long time. Thank goodness.

How is this exactly *targeted at women*? I kinda fail to see that.
Sounds quite intriguing, but since its a game adaption....eh, expecting something high quality would be ridiculous

So they're actually adapting a pixel horror game, nice, remember playing this one. Why not adapt the Yume Nikki game too then, maybe there's hope... but they would ruin it most likely. Or decide not to do it anyway since dementia and abstract things that leave you wondering what just happened aren't popular, sadly, and something like this or Ib with a linear story will be more popular.

I wouldn rather they adapt something like that, actually; its more like my type of "psychogical". Well, that's if the adaptation does it right and the audience is feeling disorientated from what's going on. Nonlinear plotlines are more fun since you get to piece everything together yourself XD

Quick Edit: The title of the game on steam is Angels of Death. You missed the "s" in Angels in the description.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/537110/Angels_of_Death/

Also, the English titles for the anime and manga are "Angel of Slaughter". I think Angels of Death sounds nicer, but Slaughter is the official manga title by Yen Press and should only have those 2. Massacre just sounds over the top.

Satsuriku can be translated either to 'slaughter' or 'massacre'

and seriously, this title must be cursed

how many ways can one mistranslate it?

This sounds pretty interesting. The fact that it is a game adaptation does give some worry as to its quality but I'm definitely looking forward to it. Gonna have to check out the manga as well.

Fair points. I think the English title is confirmed from this, but I hear you.
It's annoying when titles have an annoying number of translations.

That synopsis sounds similar to a game I played called Ib which was really fun. I'm hoping for something similar from this anime ^^

I've always been a sucker for Psychological Horror games/shows. :D

Is this really horror? I mean, I understand the thriller part from reading the synopsis, but it doesnt really sound like horror to me.. (Just saying, cuz I'm not a big fan of gore and scary stuff, so if its just light horror, I might give it a try..)
