The Golden Kamuy manga was first serialized on for Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump on August 21, 2014 and ended on April 28, 2022, reaching 31 volumes.
The live-action Golden Kamuy film was released produced by Credeus and directed by Shigeaki Kubo, releasing first in Japanese theaters on January 19, 2024 and in Netflix on May 19, 2024.
The film stars Kento Yamazaki and Anna Yamada as the leads Saichi Sugimoto and Asirpa respectively.
The live-action film adapts the first three arcs of the manga.
Golden Kamuy currently has 4 seasons with 49 episodes and 4 Original Video Animations (OVAs).
The first three seasons and all 4 OVAs were produced by Geno Studio and began airing on April 9, 2018 and ended on December 21, 2020
Season 4 would be produced by Brain’s Base (Baccano! and To Your Eternity Season 1) under most of the same staff from previous seasons, beginning release on October 3, 2023.
However, the season would take an abrupt break on November 7, 2022 due to the loss of a significant staff member and thus ending the season on its 6th episode.
Season 4 returned on April 3, 2023 and ended on June 26, 2023 for a total of 13 episodes, as opposed to 12 like previous seasons.
There is no update on the Final Season of Golden Kamuy, which was announced in June 2023 to be in production.
The anime has adapted 244 chapters, leaving only 70 chapters and its last three arcs to adapt.
Golden Kamuy is the story of Saichi Sugimoto, a veteran of the Russo-Japanese War of 1905, and his journey with a young Ainu girl named Asirpa as they look for the 24 Abashiri convicts who had tattooed skins containing pieces of a map that would lead them to a treasure full of gold.
