Monday, October 21, 2024, saw the Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! anime series officially announced as in production with a currently planned Spring 2025 release window. The news was confirmed via the official X (formerly Twitter) account for the original light novel series of the same name which the television anime will be adapting.

The official X account also shared a celebratory illustration for the announcement of the Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! anime adaptation. The illustration features the light novels’ two most central characters, protagonist Melphiera Marchalrayd and Aristide Rogier du Galbraith, the Blood-Mad Duke of Galbraith.

The aforementioned key visual sees the pair partaking in a feast of monster meat, hence the title. Melphiera is seen specifically holding and eating a plate, while Aristide Rogier du Galbraith is elsewhere in the artwork, not indulging in monster delicacies. Unfortunately, no other information was announced for the television Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! anime adaptation series other than the above.

However, the Spring 2025 release window suggests that fans will begin hearing significant information about the series sooner rather than later. The next batch of news specifically is likely to feature a trailer that reveals, at a minimum, the cast for protagonist Melphiera. This would also likely reveal the voice actor for the role of Aristide Rogier du Galbraith, and preview the larger, overarching story.

Unfortunately, fans likely won’t get any narrower release information for the series until the Spring 2025 anime season is finally at hand. In other words, 2024 is unlikely to see the series announce a full-fledged release date, let alone narrow down its release window beyond the general Spring 2025 anime season.

The Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! anime will serve as the television anime adaptation of author Kanata Hoshi and illustrator Peperon’s light novel series of the same name.

The light novels have been published since April 2021 and are still ongoing. They serve as an adaptation of Hoshi’s original web novel on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website, which began in November 2019 and is also still ongoing.

Illustrator Chika Mizube began a manga adaptation in March 2021, which is also still ongoing. Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga adaptation in English and describes it as follows:

“Melphiera is an earl's daughter who's shunned by most of the nobility, thanks to rumors about her proclivity for monster-based cuisine. When she attends a party in hopes of finding someone to wed, she's attacked by a vicious monster—only to be saved by Aristide of Galbraith, feared as the “Blood-Mad Duke.” He begins to take a liking to Melphiera…and before long, he's even interested in the “hobby” she never dared to tell anyone else! Love, battle, and great cuisine await in this romantic fantasy!”
