An authentic fantasy anime spun by a hero discovered by a holy sword and a dark hero plotting to usurp royal power! 6 recommendations that will make you want to watch the Fall 2020 anime "Kingslade: Successors to the Will"!

Since its release in Japan in 2018, the smartphone game app "Kings Raid" has been enjoying great popularity around the world, and will be adapted into a TV anime in the fall of 2020 under the title "Kings Raid: Successors to the Will".

Kings Raid" is an iOS/Android game app developed by game maker VESPA, and is a popular real-time 3D battle RPG that is enjoyed in approximately 150 countries around the world, including Thailand and South Korea, in addition to Japan.

Set on the Orbelia continent, where various races coexist, the game is a royal fantasy heroic tale in which Carsel, an apprentice knight chosen by the holy sword Air, and his friends battle and adventure against demons who are plotting to conquer the earth.

In preparation for the start of the anime broadcast, Akiba Research Institute has decided to introduce the charms of the anime version of "Kingslade: Successors to the Will" for those who have not yet heard of "Kingslade" with high expectations!

After reading this, you will surely be eagerly awaiting the anime broadcast.

Recommendation Point 1
A royal and magnificent fantasy world & heroic tale!

The charm of this work is that it is a royal fantasy set in a fantasy world where the existence of gods and legends are very familiar. In this world, Carsel, an apprentice knight discovered by the holy sword Air, and his friends go on an adventure to save the world.

The places Carsel and his friends visit are depicted with beautiful and fantastic visuals that only a fantasy work can provide. From castle towns to forests and even an island floating in the sky (......).

For games, the "Dragon Quest" and "Tales" series, and the "Legend of Heroes" series. For those who like "The Legend of Heroes" series, "Dragon Quest" and "Tales" series for video games, and "The Legend of Heroes" series for animation, this is the perfect place for you! You will surely enjoy the anime as if you were on an adventure with Carsel and his friends!

As those who have already enjoyed the game version may know, this is a magnificent and profound adventure story, but it is also a roller coaster ride that never stops once it starts rolling. Even those who find it a bit difficult to get involved in a story that is too large in scale (......) will be able to relax and enjoy the story as it unfolds in a fast-paced manner.

Recommendation point 2
The drama of the plot and the scheming of the original characters in the anime is very impressive!

Like the game version, the anime version opens with the reappearance on earth of the demon tribe led by the demon king Angmundo, who once planned to rule the earth.

However, the anime version seems to take its own unique turn from there. The key to this development is the anime's original characters, Licht and Lipine. The two dark elves, who have been persecuted by the humans of the Kingdom of Orberia for many years, collude with the Prime Minister of Orberia, El Moriham, and plan to use this situation to usurp the kingdom.

Carsel and his friends are on a great adventure as heroes who will save the world. Licht and Lipine, on the other hand, use their power and scheming to achieve their ambitions. What will be the fate of these two heroes, who are truly mirror images of each other? ...... The encounter between a hero and a dark hero is sure to bring great drama!

Recommendation Point 3
Various characters color the different worlds!

In addition to the young human knight apprentice Carsel and the apprentice priest Frey, the characters in this game include Roy the Assassin, Cleo the Magician, and Dominicus the Great Sage, all of whom have various occupations. Each of these characters makes the most of their special skills and characteristics in battle. Some of the characters have information that will lead you to the secrets of the world, and the interactions between them will weave a new story.

In addition to human characters, there are various races living on the Orbelia continent, where the game takes place. What will happen when we meet these people from different societies and cultures?

In addition to the action, the drama between the characters is also a highlight of the game.

Recommendation Point 4
Popular voice actors are all in the cast! A large number of leading actors co-star in the film!

Many popular voice actors appear in this film. In addition to the main characters such as Kaito Ishikawa as the main character Carsel, Kengo Kawanishi as Roy, Ai Kakuma as Frey, and Arie Ozawa as Cleo, Shunta Suzuki and Aino Nanjo will play the original anime characters Licht and Lipine, respectively, which alone is quite a splendid cast! The cast will also be led by Arie Ozawa, who will be playing the original character Licht.

Other male voice actors in the game include Shun Horie, Mitsuhiro Ichirai, Takuatsu Terashima, Shinnosuke Tachibana, and Kentaro Ito. The female voice cast includes Akari Kito, Miyu Tomita, Moe Toyoda, Tomoyo Kurosawa, and Ayana Taketatsu, all of whom are top-class voice actors in terms of popularity and ability, and are also expected to appear in the anime version.

I wonder if we will be able to see the popular voice actors perform together in the anime version as well. ...... I am looking forward to it!

Recommendation point 5
The more you dig, the more interesting and deep the world setting is!

I mentioned earlier that you can easily enjoy a magnificent fantasy epic, and this is supported by the world setting that is very carefully and deeply developed. While the setting on the surface is very grand, there are actually many behind-the-scenes settings, from the origins of the world to the lives of its citizens, that are also well-developed.

However, this does not mean that you need to have a full grasp of the setting in order to enjoy the film, which is a very delicate balance.

As you follow the story, you will naturally become familiar with the history and situation of the continent of Orberia, and you will easily understand what the characters living there are going through in their daily lives.

Of course, you can also enjoy the setting in a maniacal way. If you are such a person, your intellectual curiosity will be stimulated by the numerous settings that you will not be able to dig up no matter how much you dig!

Recommendation point 6
This is definitely an interesting one! Pay attention to the staff of the animated version!

The anime production staff is also noteworthy.

The director is Makoto Hoshino. In addition to directing the successive "UtaPuri" series, he also directed "Uta no Prince Sama! He has also directed many other productions, and is a creator with an established reputation for productions featuring a large number of attractive characters. His skills are sure to be put to good use in this film as well.

The series composition will be handled by Megumi Shimizu, who is also in charge of the series composition for the much-talked-about spring anime "Reincarnated as a Villainous Daughter with Only Flags of Doom from Otome Games...".

In addition, character designer Tatsuya Arai and monster designer Masaru Yoshiyama are both well-known animators with a reputation for mecha and prop design and drawing in addition to characters. We can expect to see a great deal of attention to detail in the depiction of the characters.

The animation will be produced jointly by OLM, which has an established reputation for kids' animation, and SUNRISE BEYOND, a new studio born from the traditional Sunrise studio. It will be interesting to see what kind of images will be created by the collaboration between OLM, with its reliable quality, and SUNRISE BEYOND, which has inherited Sunrise's pedigree full of sensuality.

A congratulatory telegram arrived from VESPA as well!

So, without further ado, let me introduce the charms of "Kings Raid".

If you have played the game version in advance, you will surely be able to understand the anime version of "Kings Raid" more deeply, and if there are parts that are different from the game version, you will be able to say, "What? What's going to happen? If you play the game version beforehand, you will probably be able to understand the anime version of "Kings Raid" more deeply.

Whatever the case may be, let's start with the game version of "Kings Raid!
