An anime adaptation was recently revealed for Kei Sazane and Ao Nekonabe’s light novel series Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World. Following up on that, we officially have our first look at the series in the debut promo, as well as the announcement of the two main cast members.
Iska will be voiced by Yusuke Kobayashi (Subaru in Re:ZERO), and Aliceliese Lou Nebulis IX will be voiced by Sora Amamiya (Aqua in KONOSUBA). Check out the first footage from the TV anime below.
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 series in English. Here’s their synopsis:
For years, a great war has raged on between the scientifically advanced Empire and a paradise of witches known as the Nebulis Sovereignty. This age-old battle sets the scene for a fateful encounter between two young combatants: an imperial swordsman, Iska, and the witch princess, Aliceliese. As sworn enemies, they vow to cut each other down in order to unite their worlds, and yet Iska finds himself entranced by her beauty and righteousness, while Aliceliese is moved by his strength and resolve. In the midst of a never-ending war that forbids them from being together, they have no choice but to destroy each other-or can they find another way?
There’s currently no release date for the anime.
