posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Ichijinsha began streaming a promotional video for the original anime of Chika Ogaki's traditional fantasy manga Landreaall on Tuesday. The main character DX Lucafort narrates the video and introduces himself.
The manga's 29th volume will have a limited-edition bundle with the original anime disc on February 25.
The cast includes:
- Kenichi Suzumura as DX Lucafort
- Atsuko Enomoto as Ion Lucafort
- Kenjirō Tsuda as Rokkō
- Daisuke Hirakawa as Tō Rindō
- Junichi Suwabe as Linus
- Tomokazu Sugita as Rudy
- Chihiro Suzuki as Fil
- Daisuke Sakaguchi as Ti Ti
Hiroaki Gohda (Oh My Goddess!) is directing the anime at WillPalette. Masami Inomata (Aa Megami-sama: Tatakau Tsubasa, Sasameki Koto, Ai: Tenchi Muyo!) is designing the characters for animation. Noboru Kimura (Tenchi Muyo GXP, Amagami SS+, Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!) is penning the anime's script. Noboru Haraguchi (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit, Tokyo Ghoul) is the sound director.
The alternate-world story begins with the journey of the would-be hero DX to save Marion, who has sealed a fire dragon threatening the land. DX is the heir of the lord of the town Ekariipu, and he is also potentially in the line of succession for the royal throne. He encounters Marion, a girl who dwells in the mighty tree that protects Ekariipu, and falls in love with her. However, if Marion's soul gets close to a human, that would resurrect the fire dragon she has sealed away. DX embarks on an adventure to learn the secrets to freeing Marion and vanquishing the dragon.
Ogaki launched the manga in Monthly Comic Zero-Sum in 2002, and Ichijinsha published the 28th compiled book volume on July 25.
