Witch and Mercenary to Premiere in April 2027
The second teaser visuals pay homage to the cover of the first volume of the original light novel, portraying Zig and Siasha as they live through a harsh world with strength and determination, presented in a serene yet striking atmosphere.
The first promotional video depicts Zig and Siasha beginning a new life on an unfamiliar continent and meeting the people and adventurers who live there.
The newly announced cast includes Yuri Noguchi as Isana Gihon, a rank two adventurer and swordswoman known as the White Lightning Princess; Hiromu Mineta as Alan Clows, a rank four adventurer and swordsman who leads his party; and Haruka Shiraishi as Elicia Armel, a mysterious rank three adventurer who fights with a staff and always wears an eyepatch.
Yuri Noguchi as Isana Gihon
“I think this is a series filled not only with powerful battle scenes, but also with many subtle emotional nuances woven into its quieter exchanges. I am giving my all in the recording booth so that I do not let a single one of them slip by.
“Isana, whom I play, is hot blooded, but she is also a strong and valiant woman with firm convictions. I would be delighted if viewers would keep an eye on her as well, alongside the adventures of Zig and Siasha.”
Hiromu Mineta as Alan Clows
“My name is Hiromu Mineta, and I have the honor of playing Alan Clows. When I heard that I had been cast, I was truly delighted and my heart raced with excitement. I am extremely happy to have the opportunity to play Alan Clows as part of this series.
“Witch and Mercenary is a compelling work with breathtakingly tense battles and human drama in which the convictions of the different characters collide.
“During recording, I approached Alan sincerely while cherishing the unique atmosphere of the series. I hope everyone who loves the series will be able to fully enjoy everything that makes it special. Please look forward to the broadcast!”
Haruka Shiraishi as Elicia Armel
“Congratulations on the anime adaptation of Witch and Mercenary! I am honored to be taking part in the series as Elicia.
“Elicia is an excellent adventurer with a cool and mysterious appearance. She makes a major impact from the moment she appears, and I found her to be someone you simply cannot dislike.
“At the same time, she also hides a truly unfathomable and frightening side, so I want to do my best to express the elusive strength of such a formidable character. Please continue to support the anime!”
