The anime is being produced by Cypic, a CyberAgent group studio, with Tetsuya Takeuchi directing and Keigo Sasaki handling character design. Taihi Kimura voices protagonist Chihiro Rokuhira.
Kagurabachi follows Chihiro Rokuhira, the son of a renowned swordsmith, after an attack by the sorcerer organization Hishaku destroys his family and leaves six Enchanted Blades stolen. Chihiro takes up the seventh blade, Enten, which was left behind by his father, and sets out on a path of revenge.
The anime is scheduled to begin broadcasting in April 2027, with Crunchyroll, MUSE, and SMG HOLDINGS among the announced streaming partners.
