As a long-time fan of Adult Swim and their unique brand of animated programming, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard the official announcement that Rooster Fighter is getting its own anime adaptation! Over the years, Adult Swim has been consistently pushing boundaries with their innovative and often irreverent takes on anime genres.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, there were rumors about an upcoming animated series called “Rooster Fighter.” Fortunately, these reports have been validated. In this show, a rooster named Keiji embarks on a journey across Japan to eliminate powerful mutant creatures, seeking revenge for the death of his sister. As suggested by its name, there will be plenty of rooster combat scenes. For more information about Adult Swim’s new “Rooster Fighter” anime, please refer to the official announcement below.

What Is Rooster Fighter?

Shu Sakuratani initially introduced “Rooster Fighter” on Hero Inc.’s Complex manga website in the year 2020. Later, Viz Media acquired the rights for an English language publication. For those interested in this intriguing series, the first six volumes are now accessible at your local bookstores. Regarding its content, Viz Media shares a sneak peek into “Rooster Fighter”:

In a world where enormous demonic creatures bring destruction to Japanese cities, people cower in fear. But among the chaos, an extraordinary rooster emerges as a hero. This brave bird refuses to back down when monstrous beings loom over the innocent. He may be just a rooster, but his courage and battle cry are unmatched. As towering opponents stand before him, his small size is overshadowed by the gigantic heart within him–his fearsome “cock-a-doodle-doo” call echoing through the devastation.

Among the upcoming anime initiatives at Adult Swim are “Rick and Morty: The Anime,” “Uzumaki,” “Lazarus,” and others, set to be unveiled soon with fresh information on the way.
