Today on October 1st, it's officially announced on Shogakuan's Monthly Hero's Magazine that a television anime adaptation of dark fantasy manga 'Sword Gai' has been scheduled for Spring 2016. The anime will be produced by DLE and Fields entertainment. Sword Gai is illustrated by Osamu Kine based on Toshiki Inoue's original story and Keita Amamiya's character designs.

The story revolves around Gai, who was born beside a woman who met her death in a forest. He was adopted by the swordsmith Amon. A few years later, Gai becomes Amon's apprentice, and during the forging of a sword, he loses his right arm. To help him, Amon crushes the demon sword Shiryū (lit. Death Dragon) to form it into Gai's replacement right arm. Gai then is able to fuse with the weapon on his arm, and fights against his enemies.
