Punishing: Gray Raven is one of the most cinematic mobile games on the market, and fans have long speculated about a possible anime adaptation. Here’s the latest on whether PGR is getting full anime treatment, previous animated projects, and ongoing updates as of October 2025.

Is There a Punishing Grey Raven Anime?

There is no full-length, official Punishing: Gray Raven anime TV series currently airing or announced by Kuro Game as of 2025. The developer has produced numerous in-game animated cinematics and promotional PVs, some of which have TV-level production quality (Reddit discussion). However, rumors or clickbait about a full standard anime series remain unconfirmed by any official sources (Official news).

What Animation Projects Exist?

  • “Panini: Gray Raven” ONA:
    A 12-episode original net animation (ONA), based loosely on the PGR universe, aired in late 2020 (MyAnimeList info).
    • Title: Panini: Gray Raven (Japanese: 战双帕尼尼)
    • Episodes: 12, ~6 minutes each
    • Status: Released (not a full adaptation of the game’s main story)
  • In-Game Cutscenes & PVs:
    PGR is known for its anime-style story cinematics—chapters, events, and new character intros almost always include full-blown animated sequences, making the main story feel like an anime in its own right.

Debunking “Full Anime” Rumors

Despite fan demand and some misleading leaks, Kuro Game has not announced a classic TV anime adaptation or partnership with a specific anime studio (Community clarification). Popular Reddit threads clarify that what looks like anime news is usually about:

  • New game PVs (promotional videos)
  • Limited ONA episodes already aired
  • Speculation based on the game’s high-quality animation

Future Possibilities & Fan Hopes

The PGR player base remains enthusiastic about a full anime possibility, with some threads recommending wish-list studios like ufotable or MAPPA (Anime adaptation wishlists). With ongoing updates and close ties to the anime aesthetic, the door remains open for a future announcement, especially as PGR’s popularity grows internationally.

While Punishing: Gray Raven features stunning anime storytelling and has a small ONA adaptation, there is no official full anime series at this time. Watch the official news page and major gacha news hubs for any surprise announcements in the coming years!
