The
official website for the anime The Banished Court Magician Aims to Become the
Strongest revealed new promotional art on Monday, along with the addition of
Masumi Tazawa to the main cast. The actress will voice Clasia Annerose, a
character who promises to be key to the protagonist's journey.
The newly
released illustration shows Clasia with an elegant design and imposing
presence, generating great anticipation among fans of the anime adaptation of
the light novel series written by Alto and illustrated by Yuunagi.
Cast
Confirmed to Date
In addition
to Tazawa, the cast already includes Shūichirō Umeda as Alec Yugret, the
protagonist of this story of magical redemption, and Yurika Kubo as Yorha
Eisentz, an old friend of the protagonist who reappears to offer him a new
opportunity.
A Story
of Magic and Revenge
The story
centers on Alec Yugret, a mage who specialized in supporting spells to aid the
crown prince on his dungeon expeditions. However, one day he is fired for being
deemed "useless" due to his non-offensive approach. Unemployed and
aimless, Alec receives a proposal from his friend Yorha to return to the
battlefield, embarking on a new path in search of recognition... and perhaps a
little revenge.
