Hellbound Trailer
Hellbound is set in a dark world because monsters are dragging people to hell. Even if they are not the typical sinners that we read in the holy books. One of the characters is a father who found out his newborn baby is hellbound. A Baby is innocent and has done nothing wrong to deserve going to hell but for some reason, it happens in this world. These Paranormal events coincide with the Birth of a New Religion called New Truth Society.
What many fans did not know is that this show was an adaptation of a Webtoon. A Webtoon is a Korean Webcomic that you can read for free online. The Netflix hit, Sweet Home was also a Webtoon and so is the Crunchyroll Anime Tower of God.
The first 4 volumes can be read for free for Pc Browsers but the Volumes afterwards will only be available on their app. The Newfound popularity of this Webcomics made the official Youtube channel of Webtoons release a trailer.
