The promotional video for The Holy Grail of Eris anime featured the narration between the main cast members through their voice actors. It ended with the announcement of the anime adaptation and the unveiling of the voice casting for the main characters.

Although the majority of the details, like the animation studio, release window, staff members, etc., are yet to be revealed, the voice casting for the main protagonists was revealed. This includes Constance Grail voiced by Kana Ichinose (Sayu from Higehiro) and Scarlet Castiel voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro (Nijika from Bocchi the Rock!).

The anime series is based on a light novel series of the same name, written by Kujira Tokiwa and illustrated by Yuunagi. While this series is the writer's first work in the industry, the illustrator has worked on many light novel series in the past, such as The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku.

Hinase Momoyama, the illustrator of the manga adaptation, is also the artist of some manga adaptations of individual arcs like Higurashi and Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

The official X of The Holy Grail of Eris anime shared the individual views of each author of the series. Kujira Tokiwa, the original writer of the light novel, thanked the fandom for supporting their work to the point that it received an anime adaptation. The author joked about using a decade's worth of good luck for this moment to become true.

Yuunagi, the original illustrator of the light novel, shared similar thoughts and was baffled by the thought that the characters would be voiced. Hinase Momoyama, the illustrator for the light novel's manga adaptation, shared a visual featuring the two female protagonists (and Randolph Ulster), congratulating the light novel authors.

S. Kosugi, the illustrator of the light novel's manga adaptation's sequel, shared a visual featuring the cast with words of appreciation. The voice actors also shared their views on the announcement of The Holy Grail of Eris anime.
