Season 1 Staff

Notably, the anime credits Kairi‘s manga adaptation — rather than Suisei‘s original light novel — as its source material. Yasutaka Yamamoto (Medalist, Servant × Service) served as chief director, while Tomonori Mine (Isekai Onsen Paradise) directed the season at studio Gekkō.

Yukie Sugawara (Overlord, No Guns Life) handled series composition and script writing. Mina Ōsawa (The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest, Reincarnated as the Daughter of the Legendary Hero and the Queen of Spirits) adapted character designs from illustrator La-na‘s originals for animation. Music was composed by Satoru Kōsaki (BEASTARS, The Apothecary Diaries) and MONACA, with Ryō Aizawa producing for Starry Cube.

Season 1 Broadcast

The first season premiered on January 6 at 11:00 p.m. JST on Tokyo MX, with additional broadcasts on HBC, RKB Mainichi Broadcasting, AT-X, and BS11. Crunchyroll streamed the series worldwide, excluding most of Asia but including India and the Indian Subcontinent.
