NBCUniversal Announces A Wild Last Boss Appeared Anime Adaptation & More at Anime NYC 2024
Tokyo, Japan (August 23, 2024): NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan announced at Anime NYC 2024 the anime adaptation of A Wild Last Boss Appeared! series by Firehead and illustration by Tsubasa Hazuki during its first industry panel in New York City. The announcement was complimented by the first key visual featuring the main character, “Black Winged Tyran" Lufas Maphaahl. The series originally began on Narou before becoming a print novel with over 1 million copies sold. J-Novel Club is releasing the English version of the light novel.
The original author Firehead commented on the announcement: “The story is being turned into animation! It sounds so nice. I had hoped it would happen one day, but thought it would be in a distant world. But now, it's not just a fantasy in my brain that I can't show to anyone. Rufus and his friends will move, speak in animation and it can be shared with everyone in the real-world! I'm looking forward to that moment. And it is also thanks to all of you who have patiently supported us so that we have been able to come this far. Thank you so much!”
In addition to the announcement, NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan revealed new behind-the-scenes information about the recently announced anime adaptation of From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman, How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer, and Reincarnated as a Sword season 2. Fans had the chance to hear from NBCUniversal producer Ryō Hino share creative insights including episode 1 storyboard art, the making of teaser visuals, comments from the original authors of A Wild Last Boss Appeared! and Reincarnated as a Sword, and video comments from Reincarnated as a Sword season 2 director and author.
A lucky few attendees that attended the panel also won goodies from “Hellsing”, “Serial Experiments Lain”, “A Certain” series, and From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman posters.
