If you haven’t had enough demon lords yet, another is on the way at some point in the future. The Demon Lord 2099 light novels written by Daigo Murasaki and illustrated by Kureta have an anime adaptation in the works, and while we don’t have a date yet the first teaser visual made its way online during Aniplex Online Fest 2023.
Satoshi Hino and Miku Ito are in the lead as Demon Lord Veltol and Machina, respectively, reprising their roles from a 2021 commercial for the novels. J.C. Staff is the animation production house behind the adaptation. Check out the visual and a video promo for the visual below.
Yen Press publishes the light novels in English and describes them:
The cyberpunk metropolis Shinjuku—a massive city-state bedecked with neon signs, towering skyscrapers, and the latest cutting-edge technology. It is here, in year 2099 of the Fused Era, where the legendary Demon Lord Veltol has his second coming five centuries in the making. But this landscape is nothing like the one he conquered all those years ago, for the fusion of magic and engineering has elevated civilization to dazzling, unprecedented heights. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his for the taking!
