Exception anime series first-look images, synopsis and more

From confirming that Seven Deadly Sins: The Grudge of Edinburgh part 1 is an original we can expect to see in December 2023 to revealing that Junji Ito, the renowned horror manga artist, has a series on the way, anime fans are blown away by what Netflix Geeked Week announced to be on the way in the future — particularly, by an anime called Exception.

Ever since the series was announced last year, fans have been anticipating the details of this title, mainly because this original is the first horror anime we’ve received in a while. Fortunately, we have the inside scoop.

Below, you’ll find everything we know and received so far from the anime, including first-look images and more. Check it out below!

Exception first-look images

Netflix hooked us up with stunning visuals of this anime. Although we’ll have to wait a little longer to know the context of these photos, we don’t have to wait to analyze what we’ve received.

Here are a few first-look images of the upcoming Netflix anime series, Exception.

(A planet and a mysterious floating object or creature passing by it. We wonder if either of these things influences the other.)

(Again with the planet! Maybe it truly is integral to the story of the anime. Could it be the planet the individual in the photo is heading towards? Or is it a planet everyone is trying to steer clear of?)

(Perhaps this is the interior of the spaceship. Could that spherical object in the middle be the key to survival? Also, are the people standing in front of the device friends or foes?)

(A close-up of a character in the previous image or a completely different character. Either way, who are they? What is their goal?)

Exception synopsis

Our speculations seem to be pretty on par with what this anime’s story entails. Still, we’re floored by what’s in store for this title!

The official synopsis of Exception is right here:

"In the distant future, humanity has been forced to leave Earth and migrate to another galaxy. A spacecraft is sent to a planet to terraform it and the crew is created one by one by a biological 3D printer. However, a fatal error occurs during the creation of one of the members. The crew then begins to encounter a series of unpredictable events."

In addition to this blurb, the anime is described to be a “terrifying space horror” from the minds of Find the Blood! author Hirotaka Adachi (Otsuichi), who serves as the writer of this series, Yoshitaka Amano, is our character designer, and Hunter x Hunter‘s Yuzo Sato will direct the title.

Exception release updates

Today, the upcoming Netflix anime series has yet to receive an official release date. However, it is said that Exception will premiere later this year.

Stay tuned for more updates regarding the anticipated horror anime series, Exception.
