The new cast members are:

Daisuke Ono as Jin

The anime was originally slated to premiere this spring, but is now delayed to a July premiere. The anime's staff did not give a reason for the delay. The anime's director Kei Umabiki said on X (formerly Twitter) that production on the anime is going well.

Crunchyroll will stream the anime as it airs, and it describes the series:

Despite its location in a remote region south of the continent of Felnarc, the island of Clayborne is made up of five small countries crowded together and in constant conflict. In the most remote reaches of the smallest and most peaceful country on the island, the Kingdom of Bayle, is the small village where a girl named Nikola lives a humble life. One day, while she's out gathering firewood as she does every day, a massive dragon—a creature that's supposed to only live deep in the mountains—appears in front of her. Just as it's about to attack the village, a man named Haga rushes to the scene. Haga is a member of the King's Seekers, a top secret investigation team. Nikola has never once felt bored with her peaceful life, even when every single day is practically the same, but after meeting Haga, she's so intrigued by Haga and his travels that she decides to step out into the world herself... and then the learns the true nature of her world.

Kei Umabiki (ClassicaLoid season 2) is directing the anime at 100Studio and Studio Palette. Shogo Yasukawa (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma anime franchise, Hyperdimension Neptunia) is both overseeing and writing the series scripts, and Shigeo Akahori (Texhnolyze, sub character design for Record of Ragnarok) is designing the characters for animation.

Kenichi Tajiri (Sailor Moon SuperS: The Movie) is the art director. Sakie Suzuki (I'm Quitting Heroing) is handling color design. Ayako Otsuki (The tale of outcasts) is the director of photography.
