KILLTUBE, a new anime movie has been unveiled by the entertainment company behind ‘Bookmark 14’, Chocolate Inc.

The movie is first revealed through an X/Twitter post accompanied by its very own pilot film, showcasing some of the characters and the world setting of the movie.

Set in an alternate Edo Period in 2026, the society of this era lives in a strict social class system, with the only way to change one’s social status is by participating in ‘duel streaming’. As rewards will be given depending on view count and high-class weapons will be distributed by sponsors.

Among the duel streamers, the top seven streamers have enough influence to build a castle in the country.

KILLTUBE will follow the story of Killtuber Musashi, Producer Kikuchiyo, and Engineer Reo, three people from the lowest social class who recklessly jump into the world of dueling due to an encounter, fighting off the ridiculing public and breaking free from their ‘shackles’.
