The anime The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse (a.k.a. Mokushiroku no Yon-kishi) is a sequel to The Seven Deadly Sins, and will debut on October 8. Ahead of this a trailer has been released. It has English subtitles and lets you hear the opening theme song titled “Up to Me!” being performed by Little Glee Monster.
Here’s what we know about the cast: Shou Komura plays Percival, Kikunosuke Toya plays Donny, Aino Shimada plays Nasiens, Kanna Nakamura plays Anghalad, Kouki Uchiyama plays Shin, Toshiyuki Morikawa plays Ironside, Rikiya Koyama plays Pellegarde, Sachi Kokuryu plays Arthur Pendragon, and Akio Ōtsuka plays Varghese.
The anime is being made at Telecom Animation Film, with Maki Odaira of Pokémon Journeys: The Series helming the project as director. The person both overseeing and writing the series scripts is Shigeru Murakoshi, who is known for working on Zombie Land Saga and I’m Quitting Heroing. Credit for character design goes to Youichi Takada.
Kodansha is publishing the manga sequel by Nakaba Suzuki and gave this description for volume one:
Percival has always lived with his grandfather on God’s Finger, a remote haven that sits high above the clouds. And though he loves the simple life, he secretly longs for adventure. But Percival’s life is changed forever when an intruder—who shares a shocking connection with him—tears away everything he’s ever known.
With nothing left to do but chase down the one who took everything from him, Percival sets out on his own. During his journey, the sheltered boy discovers that there are a lot of things he doesn’t know about normal life. Luckily, he meets friends along the way who can help him get by—but how will they react when they find out about Percival’s destiny… and how it’s connected to the end of the world?
