Unnamed Memory release date, plot, and more
Oscar and Tinasha appear to be a royal couple in the brand-new character visuals posted for the Unnamed Memory anime adaptation on its official X account. The duo will be voiced by Yoshiki Nakajima, known to voice Licht in Plunderer, and Atsumi Tanezaki, who is voicing Frieren in Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End respectively.
The anime has been delayed to 2024 due to some production issues. However, here is the teaser for the anime posted on the official Kadokawa YouTube channel.
This anime is based on the light novel by Furumiya Kuji and Chibi. It is being directed by Kazuya Miura, the mind behind Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!, at studio ENGI. Different artists who have worked on several other projects are contributing to this anime like Deko Akao from Komi Can’t Communicate, Chika Noumi from Kemono Michi: Rise, and music by Akito Matsuda from Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions.
Yen Press distributes the official English translation of the light novel and describes the series as “My wish as champion is for you to descend the tower and be my wife. Climbing a deadly tower, Oscar seeks the power of its master, the Witch of the Azure Moon. He hopes her incredible magic can break a curse that will kill any woman he takes for a wife. However, when the prince sees how beautiful Tinasha is, he has a better idea. Since she’s surely strong enough to survive his curse, she should marry him instead! Tinasha isn’t keen on the idea but agrees to live with Oscar in the royal castle for a year while researching the spell placed on the prince. The witch’s pretty face hides several lifetimes of dark secrets, however-secrets that begin resurfacing.”
