heathens
A bright-eyed demon hunts a Hellhound in the outskirts of Hell, with the aid of his fed-up friends. God dammit.
About
As Hell rumbles with the threat of an infernal war, a ride-or-die crew of demons navigate the underworld, chasing meaning through a whirlwind of bounties, brawls, and high-stakes heists.
Welcome to Hell :)

HEATHENS is an action-comedy dark fantasy indie animation series about demons, devotion, and an era coming to an end. Literally, our excuse to make anime lol. Our 8-minute pilot 'Hellhounders' follows Axel, a demon, sentinel, and rookie-in-training as he takes on the task of hunting a hellhound and drags along his friends for the ride! If you love worldbuilding, fights, and insane characters like we do, this one's for you ;)
meet nezha (our evil overlord)
Yo! I'm Nezha, showrunner of 'HEATHENS' and director of Studio Psycho! I'm a big fan of indie animation, anime and dysfunctional sleep schedules :)
By day, I'm a storyboard artist at Glitch Productions! I've worked on numerous projects like ‘The Amazing Digital Circus’ and ‘Murder Drones’. Weaponised with all the knowledge I've learned from these productions, please look forward to Heathens! >:D
meet the crew
Hey, we're Studio Psycho! An indie animation crew creating 'HEATHENS'. We're an Australian based studio with a dream team of both award-winning/nominated and on-the-rise artists from around the world!
What started as Nezha's digital brainworms (destroying her sleep schedule) morphed into something much grander - a virtual hellhole of story and worldbuilding that drew in those around her. Industry friends became fans, and fans became crewmembers, forming what is now Studio Psycho!
Let's make indie anime real together!! >:D
Thank you for your support!
