posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The official website for the television anime of Atekichi and Yukiko's Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! (Heroine? Seijo? Iie, All Works Maid desu (ko)!) light novel series revealed the anime's main promotional video, main visual, additional cast members, and June 24 advance streaming before its July 1 television debut in Japan. The video announces and previews the opening theme song "Ma Dual↔Heart" by Melody Wave (as voiced by Yume Miyamoto) and Luciana Rudleberg (as voiced by Rumi Ōkubo), and the ending theme song "Handmaid" by Shūgo Nakamura.
The newly announced cast members are:
Yūki Ono as Lectias Froude, a knight who safeguards Count Leginbarth
Shun Horie as Byūku, a mysterious youth who appears to attack the ball dance
Shūgo Nakamura as Demon King, who is thought to summon disaster and destroy the world
The anime will stream one week in advance on the d Anime Store and ABEMA streaming services in Japan on June 24 at 10:30 p.m. JST (9:30 a.m. EDT), before it debuts on Tokyo MX on July 1 at 10:00 p.m. JST, and on BS Fuji at 24:00 JST (effectively July 2 at 12 midnight JST). The anime will then run on AT-X on July 3.
The anime will star:"I will become the world's most wonderful maid!" With her skirt fluttering in black and white, the girl shouted. Her name is Melody. A reincarnated former Japanese girl, she now pursues her dream in her new life, working as an all-purpose maid for a poor count's family in the kingdom of Théolas. When she makes it, even cheap tea turns into a luxury brew, and a dilapidated mansion is quickly restored to new! Cleaning, serving, hunting, DIY—leave it all to her and her powerful magic. Unbeknownst to Melody, this world is actually an otome game, and she is the most powerful and invincible heroine, the saint! Yet, she remains oblivious to this fact. Romance with handsome men? Attacks by the Demon Lord? Work comes first! A fantasy of misunderstood work that unknowingly shatters destiny!
