The TV anime “New Saga” is scheduled to premiere in July 2025, with the global streaming availability yet to be confirmed.
Two new characters, Ganias and Yuriga, have been introduced. Ganias, voiced by Takehito Koyasu, is a male demon with exceptional physical abilities and great magical power. He is described as having a ruthless personality that regards human lives as insignificant. Yuriga, voiced by Yoko Hikasa, is a female demon who accompanies Ganias, possessing formidable combat skills that pose a challenge to Kyle and his companions. Due to her different values from humans, she often makes inappropriate remarks without considering the situation.

She expressed her anticipation for the anime, highlighting the effort put into the sound and melodies to convey the characters’ determination and sense of mission through the music.
Additionally, Mahiru Coda will perform the ending theme song, “her.” She described reading the original work and being captivated by its unique and exciting elements. She decided to showcase the love triangle from a female perspective, aiming to transport listeners into the anime’s world with her music.
“New Saga” is set in a world where humanity faces extinction due to a war with the demon race. The protagonist, Kyle, seeks revenge after losing his loved ones and hometown. Upon defeating the Demon King, Kyle awakens four years in the past, with the chance to prevent tragedy and save the world.
The anime features a talented cast, including Yuma Uchida as Kyle, Hiro Shimono as Seran, Fairouz Ai as Lise, and Asami Seto as Urza.
