Just came across the news from some months ago that a Drifters anime adaptation was in the works and got excited, from the mangaka of Hellsing, Hirano Kouta.
Not much info out there that I can see, not sure if this will be an OVA like Hellsing Ultimate or a TV series. Here's a cam preview:
As you can see, violence galore... so OVA might seem appropriate. I haven't gotten too far in the manga, I need to catch up. It was a bit hard to get into because of irregular releases early on, and the beginning of the series is a bit chaotic.
That said, one of the anime series I'll be keeping my on in the future. Hopefully it comes to materialization soon.
