Otomo City: where freedom and justice have atrophied to the bone; where conspiracy rules the day and death stalks the night... Death in the form of the Skull Man, a literal Grim Reaper whose skeletal grin presages grisly mayhem and murder, even to the monstrous mutants that haunt the city's underworlds!
To investigate a bizarre slaying, journalist Minagami Hayato and photographer Kiriko Mamiya must stalk this ultimate predator, through a festering cadaver of a city where the corruption flows in rivers as deep and foul as the sins of the reigning elite, and unearth a secret so shocking that an entire city has been turned into a tomb to contain! In a nightmarish necropolis where nothing is as it seems, vengeance comes in the form of a living Death's-Head!

Where it came from
The Skull Man television series was produced by the animation studio Bones and aired in 2007, serving as a loose adaptation of the classic 1970 manga created by Shotaro Ishinomori. While the original manga was a seminal dark superhero work that laid the thematic groundwork for Ishinomori’s later Kamen Rider series, this anime reimagining shifted the tone toward a gothic mystery thriller set in an alternate history version of the 1970s.
Director Soichi Masui and the production team sought to modernize the source material's haunting visual style, focusing on a grim, atmospheric aesthetic that emphasized the protagonist's status as a tragic, ghostly vigilante. Upon its release, the series garnered attention for its high-quality animation and mature narrative structure, though it was noted by critics for diverging significantly from the original manga's plot points in favor of a unique, standalone mystery framework.
