Supernatural action TV anime Blood Blockade Battlefront is returning to Japanese airwaves in October of 2017 with a new season entitled Blood Blockade Battlefront & BEYOND, and the Libra crew are getting ready for action in a new key visual released to promote the series.
From left to right, the new illustration features:
Gilbert F. Altstein, K.K., Steven A. Starphase, Leonardo Watch.
Klaus Von Reinherz, Zapp Renfro, Zed O'Brien, and Chain Sumeragi.
The original Blood Blockade Battlefront manga (known as Kekkai Sensen in Japan) by Yasuhiro Nightow is currently serialized in Shueisha's Jump SQ.Crown, and an English language version is published by Dark Horse Comics. The 2015 TV anime is directed by Rie Matsumoto and features animation by Bones, while the 2nd season features direction by Shigehito Takayanagi.
Funimation distributes the 1st season of Blood Blockade Battlefront in North America, and describes the story as follows:
"After a breach between Earth and the netherworld opens up over New York, humans and creatures from other dimensions become trapped in an impenetrable bubble that surrounds the city. Forced to coexist in a new city known as Salem’s Lot, the shaky peace between humanity and the netherworld creatures is protected by an underground group of super humans known as Libra. When a case of mistaken identity brings not-so-ordinary delivery boy Leonardo Watch face-to-face with this group, he joins their ranks hoping to help prevent the destruction of the world by a group of monsters and madmen lead by a powerful being known as the King of Despair."
