First Staff, October Premiere Unveiled for “Radiant” Anime

Written By Samantha Ferreira January 31, 2018

It looks like we have a truly radiant staff coming together for this one! (Sorry, not sorry.)

Earlier today, NHK unveiled the first staff members attached to their upcoming Radiant anime.

Seiji Kishi (Angel Beats!, Assassination Classroom) will helm the project at Lerche, with Makoto Uezu (Assassination Classroom Season 2, KonoSuba – God’s blessing on this wonderful world!!) taking charge of series composition. Daisei Fukuoka (Yuki Yuna is A Hero Season 2, Danganronpa 3) is credited as Series Director.

Radiant will air in October, on NHK’s Educational channel. The title was first announced in French regions on January 24.

Ankama began publishing Tony Valente’s Radiant comic in July 2013. To date, eight volumes have been released, with the most recent shipping to stores in December 2017.

Comics resource Comic Vine describes the title as:

In a world where the Némesis menaces, Seth, a young guy using magic, have the goal to destroy the source of the problem. On his path, he will find companions and one of them will train him.
