'Sengoku Night Blood' Air Date, Spoilers: New Promotional Video Sheds Light on Female Lead's Origins
A new promotional video has been released for the upcoming Japanese fantasy anime series "Sengoku Night Blood." It has just shed some light on the mystery of an ordinary girl suddenly ending up in the midst of the Warring State Period of Sengoku.
The trailer opens up with what looks like an ordinary girl in a modern setting, fiddling with her phone, when a burst of light suddenly transports her to a land far away in both time and space. The trailer then goes on to introduce the different Sengoku warlords that the time-displaced female protagonist will be interacting with.
However, despite their familiar names, which has been immortalized in history books, these Sengoku warlords are nothing like their real-world counterparts. In this upcoming anime adaptation of a popular smartphone otome game, Nobunaga Oda and Hideyoshi Toyotomi are vampires, Kenshin Uesugi is a werewolf, and the rest of the Sengoku warlords are divided among their armies of these supernatural creatures.
A war that is fought with swords, claws, and fangs is about to break out, and time-displaced girl, Yuzuki, is suddenly caught in the middle of it. Will she be able to survive the upcoming bloodbath and find a way back to her own time?
Additionally, it has also been announced that voice actress Rie Kugimiya will be providing the voice of the female protagonist, Yuzuki.
Yuzuki is described as an ordinary young lady who is suddenly enveloped by a mysterious light from her smartphone, as shown in the newly released trailer. She will later wake up to find herself transported to a strange new land known as Shinga, where she will soon be surrounded by handsome young vampires and werewolves that correspond to historical warriors from the Sengoku Period.
"Sengoku Night Blood" premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 3, at 11 p.m. JST on Tokyo MX and midnight JST on Sun TV. It will also air on TV Aichi at late night 2:35 a.m. JST and on BS11 at late night 3 a.m. JST. Information on other broadcast schedules and online resources can be found on the series' official site.
