Official introduction:

Armageddon—the final war between good and evil, fought at the end of the world. Its destined outcome was overturned. “I don’t want to die.” That desperate wish, that hopeless human ego, gave power to the Evil God. Eight billion human beings were offered as sacrifices, and only a handful were allowed to survive, doomed to be toyed with and tormented as playthings of the Evil God. Since the dawn of the universe, the Frashokereti—the Renewal of the World—has been repeated countless times. But here, for the first time, it has failed.

The sun will rise no more. In a world where the very laws of nature have gone mad, there is only one thing of value: human blood. Blood is currency. Blood is fuel. Blood is—a weapon.

After countless sacrifices, the mages devised a single ritual: a forbidden art that transforms a girl’s blood into a blade capable of destroying demons. Turn blood into a weapon. Turn life into a weapon. Turn humanity itself into the final weapon against the demons. The chosen… the survivors… the strongest, cursed blood warriors. Blood warriors.

The younger sister, Epica, is the strongest blood warrior, her soul stolen away. The elder sister, Eva, has been unable to walk since birth. And yet, in this entire world, only one thing can awaken Epica’s sleeping power: Eva’s blood. Eva and Epica. Sisters bound by fate in the darkness of the end of the world.

To the demons who have defiled this world—with that blood… f×cking kill them all!”

The main voice cast includes:

• Iori Saeki as Eva
• Yukari Anzai as Epica

You can see the two characters on the key visual below.

Kishi previously directed titles including Assassination Classroom, Classroom of the Elite, and Blue Orchestra, while Uezu’s credits include Yuki Yuna Is a Hero, KONOSUBA, and Kengan Ashura.
