If you’ve been enjoying this season’s run of the Übel Blatt anime—based on the manga of the same name by Etoroji Shiono—you might want to take a brief break to catch up with a new visual.
The new piece of art made its way online ahead of this weekend’s episode 9 broadcast. In it, Koinzell takes on Ikfes while Ato contends with Esleria.
Übel Blatt is being made at Satelight and Staple Entertainment with Takashi Naoya of Am I Actually the Strongest? helming the project as director. The original manga is published in America by Yen Press.
Pony Canyon gave this description for the plot:
Übel Blatt Plot
Rumors stir throughout the land: when the wielder of the black sword draws his dark blade, all who stand in its path are torn asunder…! Köinzell, the mysterious young boy who carries the black sword, undeniably wields it with exceptional skill, but can he truly be responsible for the bloody rumors? Pursued by the Traitorous Lances, four powerful warriors who were thought to have been defeated by the Seven Heroes, the strength of the young swordsman will be tested to its limit. At battle’s end, only the shocking truth of Köinzell’s quest will stand above the corpses of his enemies… An epic fantasy on the grandest of scales!
