Notes[]
- The order for each arc has not been fully decided.
- The series will be rated TV-14 for the following reasons:
- Mild profanity (words like "Damn", "Hell", "Crap", "Bastard", and "Ass")
- Scenes with blood
- Scenes that involve sexual assault
- There will also be adaptations, into a light novel, and a manga but whether those will come before or after the anime is unknown at the moment.
- A game that follows the storyline is also planned, and will be produced by Bandai Namco.
- The title has not been decided, but the opening song will be "Cynthia no Hikari" by Eir Aoi.
Trivia[]
- The series will utilize both Japanese anime-style animation, and western hand-drawn animation.
- The ending songs will play about an additional 10-15 seconds before the credits in a similar fashion to Fairy Tail, and Black Clover.
