Washington DC, August 5

Disney+ has announced the release date of the anime series 'Twisted-Wonderland', marking the streamer's latest push into Japanese animation with a series based on the blockbuster mobile gaming property, reported Variety

According to the outlet, in the 'Twisted-Wonderland' universe, the seven villainous figures have been transformed into revered historical legends known as the Great Seven.

Each villain's legacy led to the establishment of a specific dormitory at Night Raven College, creating distinct magical communities within the academy. Students are sorted into these houses based on their personalities and magical aptitudes.

Disney's 'Twisted-Wonderland' debuts October 29 exclusively on Disney+.

According to Variety, the anime centres on a Tokyo high schooler named Yuken Enma who gets whisked into a magical realm populated by characters inspired by classic Disney baddies.

The fictional Night Raven College serves as a training ground for aspiring sorcerers, with dormitories themed around villainous icons like the Queen of Hearts, Scar, Ursula, Jafar, the Evil Queen, Hades and Maleficent, reported Variety.

Enma finds himself a fish out of water at the academy, lacking magical abilities while trying to figure out how to return to his own world.

The series will track his misadventures alongside fellow students Ace and Deuce as they clash with the temperamental dorm leader Riddle Rosehearts, reported Variety.

The project continues Disney+'s anime expansion, joining current offerings like romantic comedy 'Murai In Love' and action series 'The Fable' and 'Go! Go! Loser Ranger!' on the platform's growing slate.

'Murai In Love' follows a high school student's comedic attempts to win over his teacher, while 'The Fable' tracks an accomplished assassin forced into hiding for a year.

'Go! Go! Loser Ranger!' depicts an ongoing conflict between an invading Monster Army and the popular Divine Dragon Rangers.

The streamer also has 'Cat's Eye' in development, focusing on three sisters who operate a cafe during the day and work as cat burglars at night, reported Variety.

As an Indian anime fan, I'm excited but also skeptical. Disney+ Hotstar's anime library is still very limited compared to Crunchyroll. Hope they improve their servers before launch - last time during Demon Slayer finale the buffering was terrible!

The dorm system reminds me of Harry Potter but with Disney twist! My daughter will love this - she's obsessed with both anime and Disney princesses. Hope they release some good merchandise too, would make great birthday gifts.

Not sure how this will resonate with Indian audiences. We have our own rich mythology that could make amazing anime - imagine Mahabharata characters in this style! Disney should collaborate with Indian studios.

October 29 release is perfect timing - right after Diwali holidays when kids will be free to binge watch! The Ursula-themed dorm sounds particularly interesting. Hope they explore all the villain backstories properly.

The premise reminds me of Indian gurukul system where students lived together based on their skills. Interesting to see Disney adapting Eastern concepts. But ₹1499/year for Disney+ is steep - hope they offer some discount for anime fans.
