High Card unveils first promo video and Winter 2023 premiere

TMS Entertainment has released a new promo video for the poker multimedia project High Card. The video includes a preview of the theme song "Trickster" by FIVE NEW OLD. The anime is scheduled to premiere in January 2023.



Kazuhiro Yamaji and Daisuke Ono join the cast as Bernard Symons and Theodore Constantine Pinochle, respectively.

Kadokawa describes the story as follows:

After learning that his orphanage was on the verge of closing due to financial difficulties, Finn, who lived freely on the streets, set out to a casino to make a fortune. But nothing could prepare Finn for the nightmare that awaited him there. Upon arriving, he gets caught up in a chase and a bloody shootout triggered by a man's "lucky card."

Finn will eventually learn the truth behind the shootout. The world order can be controlled by a set of 52 X-playing cards, which grant their possessors various superhuman powers and abilities. With these cards, people can access the hidden power of the "Buddy" that lies within themselves.

There is a secret group of players called High Card, who have received direct orders from the King of Fourland to collect the cards scattered across the kingdom while working part-time as employees of the luxury car manufacturer Pinochle. Finn, chosen as the fifth member of the group, soon joins the players and embarks on a dangerous mission to find these cards.

"All you need in life are manners, dignity, and the will to bet on your own life."

However, Who's Who, the rival car manufacturer obsessed with defeating Pinochle, and the Klondikes, the infamous mafia family, stand in their way.

A wild battle between these card-obsessed players, fueled by justice, desire, and revenge, is about to begin!

Are you ready?

It's showdown!!
