Netflix has released the first dubbed trailer for High-Rise Invasion, an anime based on the manga Sky Violation by Tsuina Miura and Takahiro Oba. Confirmation of diffusion since February 25 also in the West, including Italy. The anime had been presented in October but so far it certainly hasn't been arriving on the simulcast outside of Japan.

As announced by Netflix, the series will be exclusive and will only be legally available to platform subscribers. Because of this, the possibility that the anime will also be dubbed in Italian cannot be ruled out. The manga, consisting of 21 volumes and published in Italy by Panini Comics, ended in March 2019 and the anime was supposed to adapt the first 4 volumes.

Netflix describes the anime's synopsis: "Yuri Honjo is a high school student who one day wakes up in an "abnormal room" on the roof of a skyscraper that is connected to many others by long suspension bridges. Escape from this maze of buildings and bridges is made difficult by the presence of a few masked figures who will massacre any victim within reach. Yuri has no intention of losing his life on either of these rooftops, and when the choice is whether to kill or be killed, there is only one thing to do".

Masahiro Takata (High School Fleet, Mobile Suit Gundam) directs the anime Zero-Gwhile Touko Machida (7SEEDS) monitors the script. Yoichi Ueda (Gangsta) oversees animation and character design and ultimately Youchi Sakai composes the music. The series is part of the list of exclusive Netflix anime to be released during 2021.
