Ulysses: Jeanne d’Arc to Renkin no Kishi has released a new key visual and announced cast members. Additionally, the series has announced its broadcasting start. It will start airing on 7 October 2018 on TOKYO MX.

Ulysses is based on a historical fantasy novel series by Mikage Kasuga and is currently being published through Shueisha’s Dash X Bunko. It is set during the Hundred Years’ War in 15th century France and tells a different story of Jeanne d’Arc. The series will be directed by Itagaki Shin (Wake Up, Girls! New Chapter, Ben-to) and the series composition will be handled by Ryunosuke Kingetsu (Hyakka Ryoran: Samurai Girls. The anime will be produced at AXsiZ (Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen, Seiren).

In the key visual we can see seven characters including Jeanne d’Arc and Montmorency gathered in front of a fort. The fort will play an important role in the second half of the story and is called Tourelles.

Last time, we were introduced to the main cast including Ryota Osaka as Montmorency and Yuko Ono as Jeanne. This time it has been revealed that Yuki Kuwahara will voice Batard, who follows Charlotte (VA: Saori Onishi) around, and Junji Majima will voice Alencon, who is Richemont’s (VA: Manami Numakura) cousin but treats Richemont more like an older sister. Xaintrailles, who is a member of the army of Gascony lead by La Hire (VA: Shizuka Ishigami), will be voiced by Hidenori Takahashi. Glasdale will be voiced by Hiroaki Hirata, Enlil will be voiced by Takehito Koyasu, and Unsho Ishizuka will narrate the story.

Furthermore, the series will be represented on Comiket 94 which takes place from 10-12 August 2018. You can find it at the DMM pictures booth, where they will be distributing a special toothbrush. On 12 August 2018, Yuko Ono, the voice of Jeanne d’Arc, will personally give out the same signed toothbrushes. To be able to get a toothbrush from Yuko Ono, you have to buy the B2 sized tapestry of Ulysses at the DMM pictures booth. They will only give out one ticket per person. The tapestry costs 3,000 yen (incl. tax).
