posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Regional channel Animax Asia began streaming an English commercial for its broadcast of the Grimgar, Ashes and Illusions (Hai to Gensō no Grimgar) television anime. Animax Asia began airing the anime on Tuesday, and new episodes air every Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in Indonesia and Thailand, and at 8:00 p.m. in Singapore and the Philippines.
The series premiered in Japan on January 10.
Animax Asia describes the anime:
The anime centers on the adventures of Haruhiro. His world is surrounded by darkness – purpose and mission undefined. He remembers nothing but his name. And when he emerges from the darkness, he is greeted by a world that seems like a scene out of a video game. To survive the seemingly dangerous and uncharted world of Grimgar, Haruhiro has to form an alliance with like-minded people and equip themselves with essential fighting abilities.
Ryosuke Nakamura (Aiura director and scriptwriter, Mōryō no Hako director) is directing and writing the scripts at A-1 Pictures. Tomotaka Shibayama is serving as assistant director with Kazuyuki Asaga and Ken Baba as key animators, and Mieko Hosoi (Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū, Psychic School Wars) is designing the characters. Hidetoshi Kaneko is directing the art, and Takahiro Mogi is the color key artist. Shinichi Igarashi is the director of photography, and Aya Hida is editing.
Toho Animation Records formed a new project called (K) NoW_NAME to produce the opening ("Knew day") and ending ("Harvest") theme songs, as well as songs within the anime.
Author Ao Jūmonji and illustrator Eiri Shirai launched the light novel series in 2013, and Overlap Bunko published the sixth novel last October. Mutsumi Okubashi launched a manga adaptation in Square Enix's Gangan Joker magazine last April.
