Kadokawa started streaming the teaser trailer for the TV anime adaptation of toufu’s Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero manga. The trailer also revealed the main staff, additional cast, and its release in 2023.
Yoshitsugu Matsuoka will be joining the cast as Fred, Hiro Shimono voices over Leo, while Ami Koshimizu takes the role of Yuria. Keisuke Inoue is directing the anime at studios Silver Link and Blade. Toshiya Ono is overseeing the series scripts and Yoshihiro Watanabe is designing the characters.
The Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero is an odd-couple comedy about a has-been hero and the Demon Lord trying to whip him into shape. The Demon Lord has been defeated by a brave warrior, but is destined to arise again! Ten years later, he emerges early from his slumber to exact his revenge. However, he returns to find that neither the world nor the legendary hero is what they once were. Can the powers of darkness triumph over…a shut-in slob?
