Aniplus-Asia began streaming an English-subtitled promotional video for the television anime of Kei Amagi's Assassins Pride light novel series on Monday. Aniplus-Asia will premiere the anime on October 10 at 12:00 a.m. GMT +8 (effectively on October 11 morning).
Assassins Pride will premiere in Japan on AT-X on October 10 at 11:30 p.m., before debuting later that night on Tokyo MX, Sun TV, and BS NTV.
Kazuya Aiura (episode director on Citrus, My Sister, My Writer) is directing the anime at EMT Squared (The Master of Ragnarok & Blesser of Einherjar, Kuma Miko: Girl Meets Bear). Deko Akao (Amanchu!, Arakawa Under the Bridge, Noragami) is in charge of the series scripts, and Maho Yoshikawa (Amnesia, Yona of the Dawn) is serving as both character designer and chief animation director. Yoshiko Saitō (A Certain Magical Index III) is serving as sub-character designer and also chief animation director.
Voice actress unit Run Girls, Run! is performing the anime's opening song "Share the light." Tomori Kusunoki, who voices Melida Angel, is performing the ending theme song "Ijin-tachi no Jikan" (Time of Foreigners). The singles for both theme songs will ship on November 27.
The series takes place in a world where only those from noble families have the mana to be able to fight against monsters. Kufa is a noble born to a duke's family who is sent to tutor a young woman named Melida. If it turns out that Melida has no talent with mana, Kufa is secretly instructed to assassinate her.
Amagi launched the novels with illustrations by Nino Ninomoto in 2016. Yoshie Katō (Shindere Shōjo to Kodoku na Shinigami) launched a manga adaptation in Shueisha's Ultra Jump magazine in May 2017.
