Bandai Namco's action role-playing game gets an anime adaptation days after its release and fans, viewers, even players, are already hooked with the new show on the summer anime slate. Since then, the series got more and more followers who are wondering exactly how many episodes would there be for Season 1 of Scarlet Nexus.

While most anime shows are from manga series, light novels, or even originals, Scarlet Nexus is based on an action role-playing game of Bandai Namco which could be played on PC, Xbox One, Xbox X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. The series is produced by Sunrise, directed by Hiroyuki Nishimura, written by Yōichi Katō, Toshizo Nemoto, and Akiko Inoue, characters designed by Nishimura and Yuji Ito, music composed by Hironori Anazawa.

The show opens with a song performed by The Oral Cigarettes titled "Red Criminal" who also did the theme song of the game, "Dream in Drive." On the other hand, the closing song of every episode is Yamato's "Fire."

Scarlet Nexus gets new episodes every week online via Funimation where its premium access subscribers paying $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year could get first dibs of the episodes before being released for free. In Asia, it is licensed by Medialink and Madman Entertainment. However, there is no news yet as regards the English dubbed version, knowing that Funimation is known for their dubs, it has a chance.

Scarlet Nexus follows the story of an alternate future where humanity found a way to develop technology and made a society based on the different substances which could be found in the human brain, giving people extrasensory abilities. An organization was formed, the Other Suppression Force (OSF), to protect humanity from the mindless mutants from Extinction Belt, and they recruit members having supernatural abilities to do this.

The anime series of Scarlet Nexus will be having 26 episodes all in all, on a double-cour, for the whole summer season and the next, and there would be no breaks in between each episode aside from the weekly interval of each release.

Scarlet Nexus released new episodes every Thursday on Funimation at 10:30 PM JST/ 6:30 AM PT/ 8:30 AM CT/ 9:30 AM EST/ 2:30 PM BST.
