BOFURI co-directors Shin Oonuma and Mirai Minato are at the helm together once again for this one, with Kento Shimiyama (Bleach) on series composition at anime production house SILVER LINK.
Yen Press publishes the light novels—which are written by Kei Sazane and illustrated by Ao Nekonabe—in English and sums them up like so:
A great war has raged for years between the scientifically advanced Empire and Nebulis, the realm of the witches-until the youngest knight ever to receive the title of the Empire’s strongest meets the princess of the rival nation. Though they are sworn enemies, the knight is taken by her beauty and dignity, and the princess is moved by his strength and way of life. Will the fighting between them ever be allowed to end?
Funimation will stream the Our Last Crusade anime in the U.S.
