Ankama's Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar Anime Premieres October 2

France's Ankama opened a website on Wednesday for Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar, an original television anime set to premiere October 2 on Tokyo MX at 9:25 p.m. JST. The site named Rikuya Yasuda as Welsh, a 16-year-old from Broccoli village, and Yuki Kaji as Shedar, the 16-year-old prince of Bonta. Naoki Horiuchi directs at Studio Massket.

The series follows Welsh, a cooking-skilled 16-year-old from Broccoli village, and Shedar, the 16-year-old prince of Bonta, whose paths cross when they move against a tyrant's plan to conquer the world. Naoki Horiuchi, who handled episode direction on Kingdom's second season, Black Clover, and Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song-, directs at Studio Massket. Saori Nakashiki designs the characters and shares chief animation director duties with Yoshiaki Tsubata and Yuki Ikeda.

Tot is credited for the original work, scripts, and the series story outline; Kenichi Yamashita writes the Japanese version's scripts. Pierre-Jean Beaudoin and Jose Pavli compose the music, and Jun Watanabe directs sound at TO Books.
