posted on by Adriana Hazra
Anime will stream on August 27

Netflix is listing the television anime of Ryōsuke Takeuchi and Hikaru Miyoshi's Moriarty the Patriot (Yūkoku no Moriarty) manga for release in India on August 27.

Netflix describes the anime:

Amidst 19th century England's stifling inequality, William James Moriarty plans to overturn the repressive class system and create a more just society.

The anime premiered its first half in October 2020, and premiered the second half on April 4. The show had a total of 24 episodes.

The story's protagonist is James Moriarty, the famous antagonist from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series. In the manga, he is an orphan who assumes the name William James Moriarty when he and his younger brother are adopted into the Moriarty family. As a young man, he seeks to remove the ills caused by England's strict class system.

Kazuya Nomura (Joker Game, Run with the Wind, Black Fox) directed the anime at Production I.G. Go Zappa and Taku Kishimoto were in charge of the series scripts. Tooru Ookubo (Sengoku Basara - Samurai Kings, Tokimeki Restaurant: Miracle6) designed the characters and was also the chief animation director.

Takeuchi and Miyoshi debuted the manga in Shueisha's Jump SQ. magazine in August 2016. Takeuchi draws the storyboards and Miyoshi provides the art. The manga's "Saigo no Jiken" (The Final Problem) arc reached its climax in the 14th volume, which shipped in Japan on April 2. Viz Media is releasing the manga in English.
