Platinum Games' Bayonetta is getting its own anime adaptation in a collaboration between Sega and animation studio Gonzo, Bayonetta Bloody Fate, according to atrailer and website for the title that recently appeared online.

The trailer, posted above, features a handful of familiar faces from the original 2009 title — including Cereza, Enzo, Jean, Luka and Rodin — as well as some rather gruesome blood fountains and a very flashy transformation sequence for the titular witch. The film will be headed by Afro Samurai director Fuminori Kizaki and is set to launch in theaters in Japan on Nov. 23.

Studio Gonzo is known for its work on many popular darker-themed anime, including Rosario + Vampire, Gankutsuo: The Count of Monte Cristo, Hellsing andChrono Crusade.

The studio has also opened the movie's official Twitter account. Attendees at the 2013 Tokyo Game Show can drop by Hall 7 for more details on the film.

Polygon has reached out to Sega to ask about localization plans for the title and will share more details we have them.

Being that it's Gonzo doing the work, this is incredible! Gonzo has been one of my favorite anime studios after seeing a number of their works, particularly Afro Samurai. Do it Gonzo!

Somehow, people will find ways to claim this is in fact a very bad thing for Bayonetta 2's sales potential. In fact, it's probably safe to say this movie will utterly doom the game. Ah yes.

On another note, I find it interesting that Sega's involved in this, after apparently being unwilling to invest in Bayonetta 2.

Looking forward to it. And yeah, it's weird that SEGA makes a Bayonetta film after having canned Bayonetta 2...But hey, free advertisement (assuming it's any good, which it better be)!
