Skull Dragon's Precious Daughter Anime Unveils 1st Promo Video, Main Cast, 2027 Debut
Kadokawa revealed the first main promotional video, main visual, main cast members, and 2027 debut for the television anime of Ichi Yukishiro's Skull Dragon's Precious Daughter (Hone Dragon no Manamusume) manga, on Thursday.
The anime will star:
Kana Hanazawa as Eve, a girl abandoned in the Forest of Scraps
Kazuhiko Inoue as Nemu, the Skull Dragon who raised Eve
In the Forest of Scraps, a place where all manner of things are discarded, an old dragon sleeps away his final days—that is, until an abandoned child suddenly appears before him. The tiny human is Eve, and despite being only five years of age, she has somehow endured the many dangers that surround them. In an act of pity, the dragon decides to raise her as his own...but his time is still running out.
After five years together, he takes his last breath, leaving his precious daughter on her own. Little does the dragon know, Eve is capable of more than he realizes, and their reunion may be sooner than he thinks…
Hoping to improve Eve's control over her magical abilities before his resurrected body gives out, the skull dragon sets out on an adventure with his reckless human daughter—but who knows what kind of trouble awaits them?
Kuniyasu Nishina (Oshi no Ko, Blue Period, 86 episode director) is directing the anime at Dōga Kōbō. Yuka Yamada (Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S, Nina the Starry Bride, Tokyo Mew Mew New) is in charge of the series scripts, and Tomoya Atsumi (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, The Quintessential Quintuplets episode key animator) is designing the characters. Kusanagi's Daiki Kuribayashi (7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life, Dragon Ball Super: Broly film) and Yūki Hatakeyama (Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc, One Piece Film Gold) are in charge of background art.
