Monday, October 23, 2023, saw the first promotional video for The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil anime be revealed, also announcing the series’ January 2024 release date. In addition to revealing the promotional video, Kadokawa announced the show’s theme song artists and songs and unveiled a new key visual for the series.
The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil anime is a highly anticipated series, thanks in part to the popularity of its source material (of which the anime is set to be a faithful adaptation). Based on social media reaction, the large following that author and illustrator Swayoshi Azuma’s original manga series has garnered, will translate to the anime’s premiere.
The roughly 75-second long promotional video for The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil anime focuses primarily on central characters Masatora Akutsu and Lily Amane. Starring cast for these two characters and several others have already been announced, with additional casting news likely to come as the series’ release window draws nearer.
