The anime premiered on TBS and BS11 on January 12, with Crunchyroll hosting a world premiere screening at Anime NYC on November 17.Directed by Takayuki Hamana and featuring character designs by Hiroya Iijima, the series boasts an opening theme, “Soumonka,” performed by progressive rock band Soko ni Naru, and an ending theme, “Hikari no Trill,” performed by Yoshino Nanjō.
Simultaneously, Crunchyroll also launched the Indian streaming of “The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash,” adapted from the light novel series by Honobonoru500 and Nama.
The anime, which premiered on Tokyo MX and BS Asahi on January 12, with an ABC TV broadcast on January 13, held an early screening event for its first three episodes on November 23 at the Science Museum in Tokyo.
