ISEKAI BATTLE ACTION???!!!! Beloved, none of those words are in the Bible. I kid, I kid. I love hearing about unique projects with stories that have elements of what I love but also manage to stand out as something I’ve never watched via anime. Isekai? Got that locked down. A lovable underdog type character who is going to do the most? Yup. A relationship/partnership that hints at being a moving one that will bring surprises, heartbreak and joy? Perhaps? Lots of really cool character design on deck in what looks like a supporting cast? Okay, okay. A fantasy action anime series from david production that looks gloriously fun and bright and stunning? Hop in folks, we’re in for a treat come Summer 2025 this Anime season!
