The anime's website also revealed a new character visual of Yukito and Jingi by the anime's original character designer redjuice.

The anime will premiere in July on the Tokyo MX and BS11 channels. The anime will also stream on FOD, and other streaming services in Japan.
The anime's other cast members include Yuichiro Umehara as Aka Ibuki, and Kousuke Toriumi as Haruaki Karuma. Toriumi replaced Takahiro Sakurai for the role, when the anime's staff announced that they will replace Sakurai "due to various circumstances."
