The anime "The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects" (Japanese: "Ryoumin 0-nin Start no Henkyou Ryoushu-sama") will premiere on Japanese television on July 10, 2026. A first preview is provided by the second promotional video, which has now been released. It features not only scenes from the series but also excerpts of the theme songs. The Korean-Japanese rock band CROWN HEAD is responsible for the opener "Wonder," while the ending song "Hoshifuru Yoru no Yakusoku" comes from singer Kaya. Both artists expressed their excitement about their involvement.

At the same time, the production team announced five additional voice actors. Rikuya Yasuda voices the animal Francie, Maria Aho voices its fellow creature Francois, and Kujira voices the chieftain Moll. Additionally, Yoko Hikasa plays the third princess Diane, and Nao Toyama plays the intelligent mouse-humanoid Eima. All performers commented on their roles and are looking forward to the broadcast. To mark the reveal, a giveaway has started on the official X account, offering signed color prints of the new voice actors and musicians.

The story follows the war hero Dias, who, after decades of fighting, is rewarded—with a deserted grassland. Without subjects or shelter, he stands bewildered until he meets the horned girl Alna. Together, they gradually establish a settlement. The source material for the series is a light novel by Fuurou, which has been serialized on the platform Shousetsuka ni Narou since 2018 and is published by Earth Star Novel. The manga adaptation by Yumbo is currently available in 14 volumes. The total circulation of the series has exceeded 2.5 million copies.

Kenichi Imaizumi ("Kingdom") is directing, with series composition by Kunihiko Okada. Keiichi Tsuboyama is responsible for character design, and the animation is produced at Studio animation studio42. The anime will initially air on Tokyo MX, MBS, BS Asahi, and AT-X.
