Plunderer Anime's Video Highlights Jail Murdoch, Nana

The official website for the anime of Suu Minazuki's Plunderer manga began streaming a new promotional video for the anime on Monday. The video previews the characters Jail Murdoch and Nana, and also includes an interview with Jail and Nana's voice cast members Yuichiro Umehara and Shizuka Itou.

The site also unveiled a new visual for the anime:

Yen Press has licensed the "heroic action fantasy" manga, and the company describes the story:

It's the year 305 of the Alcian calendar, and the world is controlled by numbers. Every human born is branded with a "Count,” which could mean anything from the number of kilometers walked to the amount of people who have said your food is tasty. And if your Count drops to 0… you'll be sent into the Abyss! After Hina's mother's Count dropped to 0, her last request is for Hina to look for the Legendary Red Baron.

Funimation will stream the anime as it airs in Japan. The anime will premiere in Japan in January 2020.

The previously revealed cast includes:

• Yoshiki Nakajima / Eric Vale as Licht Bach
• Rina Honnizumi / Sarah Wiedenheft as Hina
• Yuichiro Umehara as Jail Murdoch
• Shizuka Itou as Nana
• Ari Ozawa / Elizabeth Maxwell as Lynn May
• Aoi Ichikawa / Austin Tindle as Pele Popolo

Hiroyuki Kanbe (Oreimo both seasons, Gonna be the Twin-Tail!!) is directing the anime series at studio Geek Toys (RErideD). Masashi Suzuki (Isuca, Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King, Minami-ke: Okawari) is overseeing the series scripts, and Yuka Takashina (Dance with Devils), Yūki Fukuchi (chief animation director for Bakuon!!), and Hiroki Fukuda (key animator for I want to eat your pancreas) are designing the characters.

Miku Itō will perform the show's opening theme song "Plunderer," and Rina Honnizumi (the voice of Hina) will perform the ending theme song "Countless Days."
