IMPORTANT: We are fixing the release of recent episodes. This may take some time unfortunately. At the same time we have hired a dev for new features like: View episodes inside Animension and not third-party sources, OP and ED skipping, Auto-Next episode, MAL syncronization and a dedicated mobile app. As the website continues to run ad-free all of these costs come out of our pocket. If you have any disposable income that you are able to donate, you can do so to the BTC address below. The funds will be used to add features and improve our response time when things break. This message will be removed when the recent releases get fixed.
Gabimaru the Hollow, a ninja of Iwagakure Village known for being cold and emotionless, was set up by his fellow ninja and is now on death row. Tired of killing and betrayal, he wants to die. However, no method of execution works on him because as much as the seemingly apathetic Gabimaru refuses to admit it, he does have a reason to live. He wants to return to his wife, who was the reason why he softened up and failed to be an effective assassin. Thus, he refuses to die.
Asaemon the Decapitator, a famous executioner, sees this and has a proposal for the ninja. He wants Gabimaru to join an expedition to an island south of Japan in search of the elixir of life in exchange for a full pardon by the Shogunate. However, this island isn't a normal island: it's believed to be Paradise.
However the island is full of mysteries, and the exploring team—consisting of those marked for death—might not be fully prepared to handle them.
