Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Ainu language and customs were extensively researched; the manga's author lived in Hokkaido for years. This adaptation was controversial among fans for compressing the story.
The brain-eating scenes? Based on actual Ainu ritual practices — the show's commitment to historical detail is genuinely unhinged.
