Last Sunday, the official website for the anime High Card was updated with the release of the second promotional trailer and a new image. The nearly two-minute video introduces the new voice actors and sets the series premiere date for January 9, 2023.
Kadokawa, together with TMS Entertainment and Sammy Corporation, has developed this new large-scale project based on poker. It will include an anime series, a manga, and novels.
The plot is described as follows:
After learning that his orphanage was about to close due to financial problems, Finn, who lived freely on the streets, headed to a casino to try his luck. But nothing could have prepared Finn for the nightmare that awaited him. Upon arriving, he gets caught up in a chase and a bloody shootout triggered by a man’s "lucky card."
Finn eventually learns 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 unlock the hidden power of the "Friend" within themselves.
There is a secret group of players called High Card, who receive direct orders from the King of Fourland to collect the cards scattered throughout the kingdom while working part-time as employees of the luxury car manufacturer Pinochle. Finn is chosen as the fifth member of the group and embarks on a dangerous mission with the players to find these cards.
"All you need in life are manners, dignity, and the willingness to bet on your own life."
