Following last night’s broadcast premiere in Japan, historical fantasy anime YATAGARASU: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master released a creditless version of its opening theme sequence that features “poi” by three-piece rock band Saucy Dog.
Based on the novels by Chisato Abe, YATAGARASU: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master is directed by Yoshiaki Kyogoku (Laid-Back Camp) at studio Pierrot, with series composition by Yukiko Yamamuro, character designs by Takumo Norita (Broken Blade) and music by Eishi Segawa (Ushio and Tora).
Crunchyroll is set to simulcast the series and describes the story:
Welcome to Yamauchi, a world inhabited by the Yatagarasu, a race of three-legged ravens who shapeshift into humans. The land is divided into four regions—North, South, East, and West—each ruled by a noble family. Yukiya, the son of a leader in the North, is shocked by a call to attend to the Imperial Prince. Murder, mysteries, and an invasion from an unexpected enemy await in this epic fantasy.
