Tomokazu Sugita, Katsuyuki Konishi, Akira Ishida Join Magi's Sinbad Spinoff Cast

posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Yōko Hikasa & Ai Kayano also star in video anime

The official website for the Magi: Sinbad no Bōken anime opened on Friday and announced additional cast members and the anime's "extravagant staff."

Tomokazu Sugita will reprise his role as Dragul (Drakon), and Akira Ishida will also return as Yunan. Joining the cast are Katsuyuki Konishi (Silver Spoon, Kill la Kill, Hetalia) as Badr, Yōko Hikasa (Nobunaga The Fool, Infinite Stratos 2, High School DxD) as Esra, and Ai Kayano (Valvrave the Liberator, anohana, Oreshura) as Serendine. Daisuke Ono will return to play the young Sinbad.

Yoshikazu Miyao (Inazuma Eleven, S.A) will direct the anime, and Taku Kishimoto (Bunny Drop, Silver Spoon) will handle the script. Souichirou Sako ( Go! Go! 575) will design the characters, and Tomohiro Ōkubo will compose the music. Lay-duce (Go! Go! 575) is producing the animation.

This adaptation of Shinobu Ohtaka and Yoshifumi Ōtera's manga will come with the special edition of the third compiled volume, which will ship in Japan on May 16.

A 70-page "prototype" of the manga with art by Ōtera was bundled with the first Blu-ray Disc of the anime in 2012. The manga's prologue also ran in Weekly Shonen Sunday later that year. After beginning a full serialization in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine, it moved to the publisher's web comic site "Ura Sunday" last year.
