The Seed of Evil — A Psychological Horror Anime
Shinjuku City, Japan
Aim
The Seed of Evil is a feature-length psychological horror anime film based on my original one-shot manga.
Hiraku Taylor
I am a manga creator specializing in psychological horror, focusing on themes of corrupted innocence, identity, and quiet dread. My work is influenced by Naoki Urasawa and classic slow-burn thrillers.
This film is my most personal project yet.
The story follows two 10-year-old boys — Haruto (the “good” child) and Renji (the “bad” child) — as their friendship slowly unravels into something deeply disturbing. There is no supernatural element. The horror comes purely from human psychology, manipulation, and moral corruption.
This film is inspired by:
- Monster (Naoki Urasawa) — for tone, realism, and slow-burn dread
- Look Back (Anime film) — for cinematic emotional storytelling
- Classic psychological thrillers that make you question who the real monster is.
High-quality anime is expensive and time-consuming to make. Your support will help bring this story to life with:
- Professional animation
- Cinematic direction
- Detailed character acting
- Moody lighting and sound design
- Faithful adaptation of the manga
Your funding will allow the studio to begin full production.
