During his hunt for gold, he finds hints of a hidden stash of gold by corrupt criminals.

The setting for this IP is just amazing to me. Being a huge history fan I really appreciate the fact the setting is sometime after the Russo-Japanese War. It uses a lot of old world history while exploring the Ainu culture. Bolt action rifles, military uniforms, its essentially feels like a Japanese western in the snow.

Please for the love of God may this be studio Bones adapting this.

Holy shit! Best news for a while!
Golden Kamuy is one of the best historical adventure titles out there! Adventure, comedy, action, and gore,... everything just fit so well.
Can't wait for more information about it!

I started reading the manga yesterday, and it's really interesting: not only is there loads of action but there's a lot of info on the Ainu lifestyle. Love it when it's set in Japan's past. Hope the anime does just as well as the manga. But I've got a lot to catch up: I've only read 21 chapters...

I hope they'll animate all the fights and expressions properly... especially expressions.

@umashikaneko np. I just hope they'll do the manga justice, even though it's highly unlikely...

i guess we will have to see which studio will get it so we can judge if they can do justice to it or not

Ono Daisuke for Sugimoto.
Sugita for Shiraishi.
Fujiwara Keiji for Tsurumi.
Suwabe for Ogata.

Please!

Sugimoto - Hosoya Yoshimasa
Shiraishi - Matsuoka Yoshitsugu
Tsurumi - Ootsuka Akio
Ogata - Sakurai Takahiro
Tanigaki - Seki Tomokazu
Professor Penis - Inada Tetsu
Asirpa - some new voice actress, maybe?
Studio - Madhouse/Bones.
But it's would be hard to adapt without censorship. And i'm ready to some people to call it Shokugeki no Kamuy.

Oh man, this has every bit of potential to be an anime of its season with its concept and character design. Guess it's all going to fall down to the roulette of studio choice, but I'll be keeping my eyes close on this one!

Super excited, hopefully it falls in capable hands.

Censuurrreeeeee

Dammit! I was about to read that manga soon this month but anime adaptation has already appeared! Ok its pleasure to see award-winning manga/novel to see in animated form, but I have a feeling that a bad studio will likely to produce this...

So what? If not, Golden Kamui is one of the most popular series in YJ, so if they're going to animate this series like they did for TG or Kingdom, this is destined to fail. Furthermore, Golden Kamui is pretty explicit, and I can practically smell the disgusting censorship from a mile away, ready to fuck up the series.

Then it may not be worth watching if the violence and any nudity is heavily censored especially if AT-X isn't airing it.

If the studio does fuck it up, just read the manga. Manga is lit AF. One of the best in the current YJ manga.

Most of YJ series are mainstream titles in the first place and not much care about Disc sales, similar situation as WSJ.

Sounds interesting. Will give this a watch.

Well I'm all in for this, but I want to check a bit of the manga first and then Idk, see what'll be getting or who's gonna get it in a way.
