“#Funimation Licenses Ranking of Kings TV Anime”

Sitting atop a stone rampart, Prince Bojji dreams of being a great king one day in a scene from the upcoming Ousama Ranking TV anime.

Even little princes can dream big, because Ranking of Kings (known in Japan as Ousama Ranking), an upcoming TV anime based on the comic fantasy manga by Sousuke Toka about an unlikely royal candidate and his equally unlikely best friend going on a quest to prove their worthiness, has been licensed for distribution in the United States by Funimation.

Funimation describes the story of Ranking of Kings as follows:

The story follows Bojji, a deaf prince who lacks power and sword-wielding ability. He’s also the heir to the throne and has high hopes for his future. After finding a friend in the shadow Kage, Bojji sets off on his grand adventure to become the greatest king the world has ever seen.

The key visual for the English language version of the Ranking of Kings TV anime distributed by Funimation, featuring the main characters, Prince Bojji and his shadow companion Kage, surrounded by a frame of strange items.

Ranking of Kings is directed by Yosuke Hatta and Makoto Fuchigami and features animation production by WIT STUDIO. The series is scheduled to broadcast as part of Fuji TV’s “noitaminA” animation programming block beginning in October of 2021, and it will also be streamed in the United States via Funimation as part of their fall 2021 anime simulcast lineup.
