An 18+ patch was released 6 months afterwards.

The visual novel was released in June 2nd, 2017. The anime had an 18 episode run (12 episodes for the first cour, 6 episodes for 2018).Īfter a leaked image hinted at an English Steam release earlier in the year, a Kickstarter campaign for an English localization of the Amantes amentes version of Dies Irae launched in December 2016. In 2015, the creators of the game launched a crowdfunding campaign to create an anime pilot episode, and took in 100 million yen, over 300% of their original target goal. On the surface, it's a regular supernatural/alternate history story with lots of Gratuitous German and Canis Latinicus, but it gained favorable attention for its pure focus on Rule of Cool and a character driven plot. Originally intended to be a visual novel with only a single route, Dies Irae underwent some quick rewrites due to Executive Meddling after artwork posted during development lead to interest in characters who were not the main heroine.

Like Shirou once said, "If you live in this town, you'll go mad sooner or later." Despite Ren's desires for an ordinary life, he finds himself forced into a war against the Orden, drifting further away from what he once held dear. Sixty-one years later, the Orden makes their appearance in Suwahara City.
