Demon's Crest Anime Revealed With Ado's Theme

The latest information on the anime ``Demon's Crest'' has been announced. The key visual and first PV have been released, and the opening theme has been decided to be Ado's "Shinka". It will be distributed exclusively worldwide on Prime Video from November 6, 2026.

``Demon's Crest'' is based on a novel by Reki Kawahara, known for ``Sword Art Online'' and ``Accel World,'' which has been published in ``Dengeki Bunko'' since 2022. This is a story depicting a new death game in an isolated world where reality is fused with the world's first all-sensory immersive VRMMO-RPG "Actual Magic".

The Story and Setting

The key visual depicts both the world of "Actual Magic" and the real world, which has a somewhat ominous atmosphere. The sight of the main character, Yuma Ashihara, turning around as if he noticed something is also impressive. The result is a piece that symbolizes this work, where two worlds exist.

Uniform version character visuals of Yuma Ashihara, Sawa Ashihara, Kenji Kondo, and Mizunagi Chano have also been released. The four characters are wearing Sekka Elementary School uniforms, and their memorable lines have been designed.

Cast and Staff

The first PV depicts a player who clears a boss battle during a test play of ``Actual Magic,'' but gets caught up in something strange.

The opening theme has been decided to be Ado's "Shinka". This song was written by Vocaloid P's Yuri Kanon, and the emotional melody and lively sound overlap, expressing determination to grow and hope for the future. In addition, Ado's ``15 Second Challenge'' video, which conveys the charm of the theme song in 15 seconds, was also distributed.

It has also been revealed that additional cast members will include Yuya Hirose as Kenji Kondo and Satomi Amano as Mizunagi Chano. Anime Official

[Opening theme: Ado]

The new song "Shinka" has been chosen as the opening theme song for the anime "Demon's Crest"!
"Shinka" was written by Yuri Kanon from Vocaloid P.
“Reality” and “game” are encroaching on each other, where are our true feelings? Which is virtual and which is real?
Even in the midst of all kinds of anxieties and conflicts, I continue to believe and move forward. This is the kind of thought that is put into it.
Please look forward to the anime “Demon’s Crest” and the new song “Shinka”!

[Kenji Kondo: Yuya Hirose]

This is Yuya Hirose, who will be playing the role of Kenji Kondo!
I had been watching Reki Kawahara's work before I wanted to become a voice actor, so
When I was told about the audition, I thought, ``Finally! Will I be able to audition for Mr. Kawahara's anime work? "and
I was filled with joy, deep emotion, and all kinds of emotions!
So I was very happy to be able to participate this time!
Konken is a mischievous boy who is a cheerful character that you want to have in your class and friends!
His honesty, innocence, and manliness!
I'm working hard on the dubbing to convey the various charms!
We don't know everything about what will happen next, so we're nervously going through the dubbing for each episode!
Please look forward to the world of “game and reality”!

[The role of Mizunagi Chano: Satomi Amano]

I will be playing the role of Mizunagi Chano. My name is Satomi Amano.
From the first time I read the work, I was able to see this death by focusing on each unique classmate.
The game's rich worldview kept my heart pounding. I am truly honored to be able to be involved in this work.
Mizunagi-chan is truly the "ideal girl" for me. Although they are cute, they are also dangerous and cannot be left alone.
He also has the strength to speak his mind. I will carefully play this honest and larger-than-life woman.
I also love watching anime with the game world of "Actual Magic" and the fast-paced battles that are unique to this work.
I'm looking forward to it. Thank you very much!
