The official YouTube channel of Kadokawa started streaming the first trailer for the TV anime adaptation of toufu’s Level 1 Demon Lord and One Room Hero manga, which is scheduled to debut in 2023. The anime series also revealed a new visual and a new cast.
Yōko Hikasa will be joining the cast as Zenia, alongside the previously revealed cast of Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Fred, Hiro Shimono as Leo, and Ami Koshimizu as 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?
