Kazuki Nakashima, who was in charge of the series scripts for Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill, was the screenwriter. Takashi Okazaki, the creator of the Afro Samurai manga, was the character designer for the film. The project also involved English-language screenwriters Leo Chu and Eric Garcia, the executive producers for the Afro Samurai series and Afro Samurai: Resurrection film.
Kamikaze Douga worked on the project, and Yūgo Kanno (Psycho-Pass, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable, Ajin) composed the music. The anime’s website stated the project was three years in the making.
Masato Hisa (Nobunagun, Area 51) launched a manga adaptation of the anime in Monthly Hero’s in June 2018, and ended it in September 2019. The manga won a Seiun Award in August 2020.
