It’s summer, which means it’s time for swimming. And red nobility, apparently.
Earlier today, Funimation unveiled two new titles in their Summer 2018 SimulDub lineup. The publisher will stream the following:
- Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King
- Free! -Dive to the Future-
Details on both SimulDubs will be announced at a later date.
Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King
Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King is based on Square Enix’s arcade game of the same name. Eiji Suganuma (El Hazard – The Magnificent World, Karneval) is directing the project at asread and Tear Studio, with Toshie Kawamura (Glitter Force, The World God Only Knows: Goddesses Arc) providing character designs. Masashi Suzuki (Rail Wars!, The Sacred Blacksmith) is in charge of series composition for the title.
Funimation describes the show as:
After a high-frequency resonance echoes throughout Tokyo, various young people start developing blood-based supernatural powers.
Free! -Dive to the Future-
Eisaku Kawanami (Free! -Take Your Marks-, Free! -Timeless Medley-) will return to the director’s chair for Free! Dive to the Future at Kyoto Animation and Animation DO. Futoshi Nishiya (Free! franchise, A Silent Voice) will reprise his role as character designer, while Masahiro Yokotani (Free! – Iwatobi Swim Club, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-) returns to tackle series composition.
Funimation describes the title as:
