A new teaser PV has been released for the anime adaptation of Kotobukiya's plastic model series "Arcanadea." The staff presented the video as well as four additional voice actors on August 29 during the event "Arcanadea Engage Fes 2026" in Tokyo (Shinagawa). It was also confirmed that the series will air from January 2027 in the "NUMAnimation" block of the TV Asahi network (24 stations nationwide) as well as on BS Asahi.
Nobunaga Shimazaki voices the protagonist Shogo Kuga, Konomi Inagaki takes on the role of Kaho Asagi, Mai Kanno can be heard as Rin Kirinoe, and Moka Kanzaki as Gii. Shimazaki and Inagaki sent video comments regarding their respective roles, which were shown at the event.
Shogo Kuga is a third-year student who was once a skilled player of the VRMMO "ARCANADEA," but now spends his days largely listlessly. The story begins when the palm-sized Lumitia falls from the sky before him and calls him "Master" – from that moment on, his everyday life gradually begins to change. Kaho Asagi is a first-year student and, like Kuga, a Dea Master; she leads the Dears Velretta and Yukumo. Rin Kirinoe is active as an idol alongside her work as a Dea Master, while Gii, a Dea with animal ears, is assigned to her as her master. The teaser PV shows, among other things, Lumitia floating down from the sky before Kuga, breaking his usual routine.
The story is set in the near future: The newly discovered energy source "Arcana Particles" has accelerated technological progress and enabled the construction of Eden, the world's largest virtual server room, where the VRMMO "ARCANADEA" is located. Direction is by Keiichiro Kawaguchi, with series composition and scripts by Atsuhiro Tomioka. The original main characters are by necömi, with animation character design by Kumoha Arakawa. The music is composed by Yuki Hayashi and Yuki Furuhashi, and the animation is produced at Yokohama Animation Lab. Kotobukiya is credited as the original work.
The model series, launched in December 2021, combines science fiction with fantasy and is characterized by its delicate design; according to the manufacturer, more than 700,000 units had been shipped by June 2026. The anime adaptation was announced in December 2024. Previously, Kaede Hondo (Lumitia), Miho Okasaki (Velretta), and Rina Hidaka (Yukumo) had already been confirmed; with Moka Kanzaki, another voice actress reprises her role from the model series in the anime.
