Crunchyroll is streaming the anime, describing it as follows:
Gabimaru reigns as the strongest and most ruthless assassin in his village. But now finds himself on death row—with only one way out: retrieve the Elixir of Life from a sinister island. Longing for freedom, he accepts the challenge. But with fellow convicts vying for the same prize and demonic beasts lurking, how will Gabimaru survive this harrowing quest?
We also interviewed the creator of Hell’s Paradise and it covered some of Kaku-sensei’s inspirations and core thoughts going into the series as well as some tidbits about what made the anime as fantastic as it is.
