Ahead of an October 2024 broadcast, the official website and accounts for the Demon Lord 2099 anime unveiled a brand-new key visual and announced theme song details. Shiyui (Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead ED) will perform “Hollow” for the opening song, while sekai will perform “Spira” for the ending song.
Key Visual
Based on the light novels by Daigo Murasaki and Kureta, Ryo Ando (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury assistant director) directs Demon Lord 2099 at studio J.C.STAFF, with series composition by Yuichiro Momose (The Witch and the Beast), character designs by Ryosuke Tanigawa (Reign of the Seven Spellblades chief animation director) and music by Tatsuya Kato (Dr. STONE).
Crunchyroll will stream the anime as it airs in Japan. Yen Press publishes an official English version of the original light novels and describes the story:
The cyberpunk metropolis Shinjuku—a massive city-state bedecked with neon signs, towering skyscrapers, and the latest cutting-edge technology. It is here, in year 2099 of the Fused Era, where the legendary Demon Lord Veltol has his second coming five centuries in the making. But this landscape is nothing like the one he conquered all those years ago, for the fusion of magic and engineering has elevated civilization to dazzling, unprecedented heights. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his for the taking!
