#Card-battling Action Anime Sequel Shadowverse F Releases 1st PV for Its April 2022 Premiere

The official website for the anime franchise inspired by Cygames’s card-battling game Shadowverse has released a key visual and a 40-second first PV for the forthcoming second TV anime series entitled Shadowverse F (Flame) to introduce its main characters. The clip also announces the anime’s premiere date of April 2, 2022.

Shadowverse F features a new protagonist Light Tenryu and its story is set in Shadovar College, a facility that trains professional players of the Shadowverse game. Tenryu Light, a transfer student, decides to join “Seventh Flame,” one of the seven Shadovar clubs. However, Seventh Flame is on the verge of closure due to a lack of members! In order to avoid the club’s demise, Light decides to look for new members. But what awaits him are powerful rivals who control a wide variety of cards…

“When I visited the office a few days after the audition, I was told, ‘You got the role of Light!’ I remember how surprised and happy I was,” Yuto Uemura, the voice of Light Tenryu, says, “My character Tenryu Light is a protagonist who goes straight for it once he’s made up his mind, and looks cool when he is playing Shadowverse! On the other hand, He is a little careless as a life-sized junior high school student…, he has a certain charm that can’t be described in just one word. I’d like you to see how Light changes through the battles with the members of the Shadowverse Club.”
