With a view
to its upcoming release, the anime Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra:
World Conquest Starts with the Civilization of Ruin released a
new promotional trailer this weekend, accompanied by the
revelation of new details of its cast and some of its music. The series will
debut on Saturday, July 6 in Japan and will be available
in simulcast through Crunchyroll that same day, in local
time in Spain (UTC+2).
The trailer
introduced us to actress Akira Sekine (Lilisa in Rock
is a Lady's Modesty) as the voice of Soarina, a mysterious
character nicknamed the "Saint of the Floral Funeral", whose
presence promises to bring both beauty and tragedy to the story.
A story
of conquest in a world in decline
The plot
revolves around Takuto Ira, a legendary player of the strategy
video game Eternal Nations, who unexpectedly wakes up in a world
identical to the one in the game after losing consciousness during a
hospitalization. There he reunites with his favorite unit, Sludge Atou,
and decides to build the evil empire of Mynoghra from scratch,
starting a campaign of conquest on a devastated continent: Idoragya.
Production
and talent behind the apocalypse
The anime
is directed by Yuji Yanase (By the Grace of the Gods)
under the animation of the Maho Film studio. The series is
composed by Kunihiko Okada and Yuka Yamada, while
the character design was entrusted to Kaho Deguchi (In the
Land of Leadale). The music, a key piece in this dark setting, is the work
of Kujira Yumemi and Midori Narikiyo.
In
addition, the trailer lets us hear for the first time the closing theme
titled "more than W", performed by Takuma
Terashima, who will also participate in the soundtrack.
A dark
isekai for strategy lovers
Based on
the original light novels by Fehu Kazuno and illustrated
by Jun, Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra bets on an
uncommon mix of apocalyptic fantasy, military strategy and civilizational
evolution. The anime promises to differentiate itself from the typical isekai
by exploring the moral dilemmas of a protagonist who chooses to build a kingdom
of darkness and corruption.
