Lovecraft-inspired anime NAKED PEAK - Climb the Mountains of Madness unveils pilot episode
Lovecraft-inspired anime NAKED PEAK - Climb the Mountains of Madness has dropped its pilot episode today.
The anime is based on the TTRPG Mountains of Madness. Forest Limit LC and THINKR Co., Ltd raised over $1 million USD (119 million Yen) from almost 12,000 backers to get the anime off the ground. The pilot episode, which can be seen below, is a small taste of what’s to come with a full-length movie in the works.
A synopsis for the anime reads:
A flight to Antarctica turns into a frantic rescue mission after the plane mysteriously vanishes. Efforts to locate the missing passengers lead rescuers to discover the plane’s course set for a never-before-seen mountain range - the largest on Earth.
Towering over 10,000 feet above sea level, the Everest-eclipsing eighth wonder of the world (officially nicknamed the “Mountains of Madness”) draws attention from the world’s best climbers and thrill-seekers. Although they have conquered the tallest peaks in the past, Earth’s new vertigo-inducing heights are surpassed only by the dreadful horrors awaiting at the top.
More information can be found on the NAKED PEAK website.
