Yesterday Sentai Filmworks announced they had gotten distribution rights for Earl & Fairy. The Earl and the Fairy started out as a series of light novels and later received a manga adaptation that’s published by VIZ Media.
The anime was produced by Artland Studios and directed by Koichiro Sotome. Sentai says it has distribution rights for “United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Latin America, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Nordic, Scandinavia.” It also gave this description of the series:
“Lydia Carlton possesses the rare ability to interact and communicate with fairies, supernatural creatures invisible to most humans. Few believe her stories about her occupation as a doctor to these strange beings, but the mysterious and handsome Edgar is in need of her particular expertise. Edgar seeks to become the Blue Knight Earl, or the human ruler of the fairy realm, and he will need Lydia’s help to navigate the deceptively complex world of the fairies and claim the crown he craves.”
Sentai said it will be streaming the series, but did not say when that will start.
