The historical supernatural action series Mars Red has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The 13-episode series, animated by Signal.MD, plunges viewers into an alternate 1920s Japan where vampires are a known, albeit feared, entity.
Originally a dramatic stage reading by sound director Bunoh Fujisawa, the anime follows the newly formed Unit 13 of the Imperial Army, tasked with hunting down rogue vampires. The show explores themes of military duty, the supernatural, and the struggles of its primarily adult male cast, including vampires forced to serve the very government that hunts their kind.
While its MyAnimeList score sits at 6.79, Mars Red offers a unique blend of historical atmosphere and vampire action, distinct from more typical fantasy fare. Its complete run means it's ready for a binge-watch for those seeking a darker, character-driven narrative.
