Dark Academia anime inspired by Disney villains is revealed in the Twisted Wonderland trailer
Disney goths unite! The world of Twisted Wonderland is finally set to arrive stateside as an anime this October just in time for spooky season in this halfway to Halloween trailer announcement.
The Disney+ series will adapt an arc fans might be familiar with as it centers Yuuken, the main character of the franchise’s previous iterations through the popular Disney game and manga series, who is invited to join Night Raven College by a mysterious masked figure.
The school of Dark Magic has seven houses, one for each of the Disney Villains featured, and that’s definitely a premise we can get behind. The Hades house is our choice. Yoichi Kato (City Hunters Shinjuku Private Eyes), based on
Yana Toboso’s original aesthetic, was also announced as the series’ writer. Animation art was created by Haruka Nakano, Akane Sato. I had seen some of the manga and game art before, but I am very excited to see the new series with its darkly humorous concept involving villainous teens and classic Disney baddies. The looks are Disney bound gothic goals, and the concept is going to add to more fun for the spooky niche of Disney fans ready to embrace the Dark Academia aesthetic.Twisted Wonderland drops on Disney+ this October.
