Promise of Wizard Anime Streams Guide Movie, Reveals Ending Song Artists
posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The staff for the television anime of the Mahō Tsukai no Yakusoku - Promise of Wizard smartphone game started streaming a guide movie on Tuesday. The video explains the anime's story, with narration by Arthur's voice actor Atsushi Tamaru, and previews the opening theme song "Year N" by Mili. The anime's staff also revealed the ending theme song "Bokura wa Ai no Koishite Ikiru" (We Live in Love with Love) by virtual idol duo LIP×LIP. The duo consists of teen idols Yūjirō (voiced by Kōki Uchiyama) and Aizō (voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki). HoneyWorks produced the ending song.
Naoyuki Tatsuwa (Gourmet Girl Graffiti) is directing the series at LIDEN FILMS, and Nanami Higuchi (BEASTARS) is overseeing and writing the scripts. Nozomi Nagatomo (A3! Season Autumn & Winter) is designing the characters. Shūji Katayama (Overlord) is composing the music at Pony Canyon.
Akira Hashigami (Gods' Games We Play) is the color key artist. Minami Kasuga (Dragon Ball Super: Broly) is directing the background art. Koji Yamakoshi (Pokémon movies) is the compositing director of photography, and Mai Hasegawa (Ensemble Stars!) is editing. Ryō Tanaka (Eternal Boys) is directing the sound at Tohokushinsha.
The game is set in a world where wizards and regular people coexist. The player is a "sage" who develops wizards to counter a "great disaster" that befalls the world every year (and forms deep bonds with them).
The company coly, Inc. launched the free-to-play game (with in-app purchases) in November 2019. Bunta Tsushimi (IDOLiSH7) writes the scenarios, and Dangmill (Cross-Dressing Villainess Cecilia Sylvie light novel illustrations) drafted the original character designs.
The game is inspiring a manga adaptation by Shibatarō Nakamura that launched in June.
