Dragon hunters: warriors armed with special silver weapons who kill their prey for bounty. Lowest among their ranks is Ragna, who forms an improbable partnership with the young genius Leonica, a master dragon slayer with more kills to her name than almost any other. All Ragna wants is to stay by Leonica’s side, but his dream is shattered by an attack from the deadliest dragon imaginable…

• Director: Ken Takahashi (Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA Licht Nameless Girl assistant director)
• Character designer: Shinpei Aoki (The Dungeon of Black Company prop designer)
• Series composer and scriptwriter: Deko Akao (When Will Ayumu Make His Move?)
Meanwhile, the main cast includes Chiaki Kobayashi as Ragna, Ayumu Murase as Crimson, and Inori Minase as Leonica.
