Sentai Filmworks revealed on Thursday that it has licensed the anime of Kachō Hashimoto’s Cagaster of an Insect Cage (Mushikago no Cagaster) manga and Saku Sakamoto’s Aragne: Sign of Vermillion (Aragne no Mushikago) horror anime film.
The staff then ran a successful Kickstarter campaign for an English translation and funds to screen the film at festivals.
The film will get a prequel spinoff titled Amrita no Kyōen (The Feast of Amrita), and it will debut in 2021.
The manga ran on Hashimoto’s website from 2005 to 2013, and Tokuma Shoten eventually published seven volumes of the manga from January to June 2016.
