It may have taken much longer than expected, but the Sword of the Demon Hunter anime finally revealed its cast in a brand-new trailer.
This series has been in the works for years now. Given the lack of info, some feared that it would be delayed or canceled. Thankfully, an update was shared a few months ago.
Now, the show has a proper trailer that shows off actual animated clips. The trailer may be short, but it still gives fans a good idea of what to expect.
Which Studio Is Animating Sword of the Demon Hunter?
The Sword of the Demon Hunter anime was announced way back in September 2021. At the time, the original light novel was still ongoing, as the series only ended in November 2023.
Despite the novel series’ conclusion, fans can still enjoy the manga adaptation as its story has not yet wrapped up. New chapters are still being released in Futabasha’s Action Comics.
Soon, fans of the series will also be able to enjoy the series in anime form, with production courtesy of Yokohama Animation Lab.
This studio has been quite prolific recently, as it has worked on shows like last season’s The Kingdoms of Ruin and this season’s The Witch and the Beast.
