The first trailer for Kazuyoshi Katayama’s King of Thorn (Ibara no Ou) anime premiered at the 62nd Locarno International Film Festival today and has also been uploaded to the english-friendly website of the project. KoT is the anime adaptation of the manga series by Yuji Iwahara and tells the story of a group of 160 people who have become infected by a mysterious and pandemic virus and are therefore placed in cyrogenic sleep until a cure has can be found. After an unknown amount of time a handful of people awaken from their sleep just to be attacked by vicious creatures (looking just like Giger’s Aliens).
In an unknown future they not only have to survive but also have to find out what the hell happened to earth during their sleep…
