posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The television anime of Ichika Isshiki and fame's Berserk of Gluttony (Bōshoku no Berserk: Ore Dake Level to Iu Gainen wo Toppa Suru) light novel series will premiere this year.
The anime's main cast includes Ryota Ohsaka as Fate Graphite, and Tomokazu Seki as the black sword Greed.
Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing both the novel series and its manga adaptation in English, and it describes the story:
Fate Graphite is one of the forsaken. Cursed with the skill “Gluttony,” he is ever starving, never sated…until the day he kills a dying thief and devours the man's strength—and his soul. The true hunger of Fate's Gluttony has awakened, and if he can learn to control his power, he will at last be the master of his own destiny.
Yuu Nobuta (High School Fleet, A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepherd) is returning to direct the anime at EMT Squared. Hisashi Ishii is again the series director. Takashi Aoshima (Himouto! Umaruchan, Yuruyuri - Happy Go Lily) is again in charge of the series scripts, and Yūki Nakano (A Destructive God Sits Next to Me) is again designing the characters and serving as chief animation director. Shigeo Komori is also returning to compose the music.
Azumi Waki performs the opening theme song "Kimi to no Mirai." Waki voices Fina in the anime, and performed the first season's opening theme. Maki Kawase is performing the ending theme song "Zutto." Kawase voices Yuna in the anime and performed the first season's ending theme.
The first season premiered in October 2020, and aired for 12 episodes. Muse Asia streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the novels in English, and it describes the story:
Fifteen-year-old Yuna prefers staying home and obsessively playing her favorite VRMMO game to doing anything else, including going to school. When a strange new update gives her a one-of-a-kind bear outfit that comes with overpowered abilities, Yuna is torn: the outfit is unbearably cute, but too embarrassing to wear in-game. But then she suddenly finds herself transported into the world of the game, facing down monsters and magic for real, and the bear suit becomes the best weapon she has!
