Bayonetta: Bloody Fate (2013)

No one asked if there would ever be a Bayonetta anime; they asked how long it would take before one appeared. It took over three years.
Everything from the game you'd expect to see is in place: guns, heels, unashamed innuendo, frantic battles and esoteric religious iconography.
Studio Gonzo opted to give the angel-killing Umbra Witch an old school makeover. It lovingly resembles an anime made in the 90s, replete with washed-out colour scheme. It follows the story of the game, so if you’re a Bayonetta virgin think carefully about which medium you’d prefer to experience it on first, because the story is the weakest part.
