A new PV trailer has been released for the Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal anime television series. It is scheduled for broadcast on October 7, 2022.
The 2022 series is an anime adaptation based on Square Enix‘s 1999 JRPG Legend of Mana video game. The anime series was made to commemorate the original game’s 30th anniversary. A remastered version was released in June 2021 for Steam, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch and in December 2021 for iOS and Android.
The main voice cast consists of Nobunaga Shimazaki as Shiloh, Saori Hayami as Serafina, Yuuichirou Umehara as Elazul, and Kaori Nazuka as Pearl.
The production team for Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal includes Masato Jinbou (The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 2 director) as director and series screenwriter and Youko Shimomura (Hi Score Girl) as music composer. Tarou Ikegami (Lapis Re:LiGHTs) designed the anime’s characters based on the original character designs from illustrator HACCAN. Graphinica and Yokohama Animation Laboratory are both handling the animation production for the series.
Square Enix describes the Legend of Mana remaster as:
Set off on a journey to find the mystical Mana Tree seen in a dream, before discovering… the world map is empty!
During your travels, you’ll acquire special artifacts; place these wherever you’d like on the map to bring towns and dungeons to life and advance the story.
Meet a colourful cast of characters, square off against fearsome monsters, and complete quests in the vast world of Fa’Diel.
