The story featuring a human-chimpanzee hybrid is becoming an anime, eagerly awaited for the beginning of the year. More information and the first promo follow.
Created in a biological science lab, Charlie is a half human, half chimpanzee hybrid known as "Humanzee". Raised by his adoptive human parents, Charlie is now 15 and starting high school. There he meets Lucy, a clever loner who becomes his first-ever friend. But his "normal" life is shattered when the animal rights extremists who freed his mother from the lab fifteen years ago reemerge as terrorists bent on kidnapping Charlie at all costs.

The manga Darwin Jihen (original title) by Shun Umezawa and published in 2020 is being adapted into a television anime by Bellnox Films, with general direction by Naokatsu Tsuda (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), series direction by Katsuichi Nakayama (Evangelion: 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon A Time), scripts by Shinichi Inotsume (PERSONA 5 the Animation), character designs by Shinpei Tomooka, and music composed by Arisa Okehazama (The Apothecary Diaries) and Mariko Horikawa.

The series is expected to premiere on TV Tokyo and its affiliates in January 2026.

Here's the first trailer:
