Tearmoon Empire Trailer

Twenty-year-old Princess Mia, the "selfish princess" of the Tearmoon Empire, has been executed by guillotine. Surprisingly, she wakes up as her twelve-year-old self with her bloodstained diary next to her. "Given a second chance at life, Mia decides to rebuild the empire. For the sake of Tearmoon's future? To save the people from starvation? For all the soldiers who lost their lives in the civil war? No! Everything she does in this life is for the sake of avoiding the guillotine! "F-For me, this should be a piece of cake!" Thus the useless, cowardly, self-serving princess brings about miracle after miracle in her great struggle to save herself in this altered-history fantasy." (Crunchyroll)

Based on the novel series by Nozomu Mochitsuki, the Tearmoon Empire anime is directed by Yūshi Ibe. Deko Akao is in charge of scripts with Mai Otsuka designing the characters and Kōji Fujimoto composing the score. Silver Link is producing. The anime stars the voice talents of Sumire Uesaka (Mia Luna Tearmoon), Tomori Kusunoki (Anne Littstein), Yuichiro Umehara (Ludwig Hewitt), Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Abel Remno), and Shun Horie (Sion Sol Sunkland)

Tearmoon Empire hits Crunchyroll in October 2023.

[zantedeschia-praesul]

//short saniwa thing? coz i've been bingeing on old anime for some weird reason

nothing special really, just that Saseki, while he doesn't look it, uses the manly first-person "ore" (俺) instead of "boku" (僕) when he talks (tho if/when Okita talks, he would switch to "boku"), and when he refers to somebody, it's either "anta" (あんた) or "anata" (あなた). Most holy swords eg. Ishikirimaru, Taroutachi and (someone else's, not his) Kogitsunemaru, or other holy beings/those of higher status, will be refered as "-sama" (様) while the rest are the standard "-kun" (くん), even with tantou. (Even Mikazuki he calls "-kun", and for *his* Kogitsunemaru, Sase has a habit of calling him "Kogi-kun")

(Except for Nankaitarou, he calls him "Nankai sensei" too)

Does he have a voice/seiyuu claim? iunno mang but rn it's highly likely Horie Shun (Ishida Masamune & Aether seiyuu) or Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Xiao seiyuu), and personal favorite between two legends Johnny Yong Bosch (Lelouch VA) or Yuri Lowenthal (Dainsleif VA)

THO WHAT IF I OFFER KHOI DAO TO VOICE MY SANIWA I MEAN WHY NOT //OK NO

And if the current thread at the bakery is any indication, for some reason some people in Bungou no Kuni had taken to calling Saseki "Lord Harumasa" (the equivalent being "tono" - 殿), even tho he's nowhere near daimyo level. I'd like to think they think of him as a small kind of noble, maybe :0

[pissfizz]

I miss shun matsuoka

[snowyangell]

I'm not sure if you realize this, but did you know the matsuoka siblings are named (first kanji of their name) after seasons? Shun (春=spring), Akiyo (秋代=autumn ), Kana(夏菜=summer), Fuyuki(冬樹=winter). It makes wonder what their parents names are according to the theme of their names?

Oh true, that wasn't something I really paid attention to! That's a cute tradition for sure haha.
