This Little Red Riding Hood may not have a happy ending.
Red Riding Hood: A Detective Story has released its first trailer for the anime adaptation. The trailer introduces Red Riding Hood who receives a letter pleading for help. It turns out it comes from Pinocchio who begs her to help him get his body back. Suddenly, a murder happens at a circus where Big Bad Wolf gets strangled to death. Now, Red Riding Hood has to find the real culprit or else nobody gets a happy ending. A key visual with all the characters was also released.
A novel series written by Aito Aoyagi, Red Riding Hood: A Detective Story began publication in August 2020 with Futabasha publishing. A manga adaptation with Kanoka Tana began in January 2023 in Futabasha’s magazine Monthly Action. The novel enjoyed a live-action adaptation film in September 2023 which was retitled Once Upon a Crime.
Benten Film will animate and produce the anime with Itsuro Kawasaki directing and writing the scripts. Manami Minakata and Yuko Yahiro will design the characters and Jun Ichikawa will compose the music. Yume Miyamoto will portray Red Riding Hood and Akira Sekine will voice Pinocchio.
The synopsis is as follows:
On the outskirts of town lived a girl called “Red Riding Hood.”
One day, she found herself forced to embark on a journey for a certain purpose.
Strangely enough, however, she kept getting swept up in incident after incident along the way.
Using her innate curiosity and clever mind, Red Riding Hood set about solving each mystery.“Why is your criminal plan so sloppy?”
This is the world of a fairy tale everyone knows—.
The anime premieres in January 2027 and will stream on Crunchyroll, but those who attend New York Comic Con will get to watch the premiere on October 9. There is currently no English translation of the novel.
