Premieres July 2024. The PV is here. I don’t have an English source yet, but here is the Natalie article. Synopsis from AniList:
The Kingdom of Clays faces a dire crisis: an assassination attempt has just been made on its own Princess Lynneburg, and its neighboring countries eye the aftermath like starving vultures, plotting the Kingdom’s downfall. The ensuing conflict will shape the face of the continent for centuries to come…but Noor doesn’t have a clue about any of that! Having freshly arrived at the royal capital after over a decade of rigorous, isolated training at his mountain home, he’s dead set on achieving his childhood dream of becoming an adventurer, even if the only skills he possesses are useless ones. Sure, he can [Parry] thousands of swords in the span of a single breath, but everybody knows you need more than that if you want to be an adventurer! Our hero’s road to making his dream come true will be long(?) and arduous(?)—but if there’s one thing Noor’s not afraid of, it’s some good ol’ fashioned hard work!
Edit: Crunchyroll article
Jesus fucking Christ, mother McCree and saint seiya, can we please stop these awful titles. Just the names alone are repelling me away
I’ve heard the biggest web novel site over there doesn’t show a synopsis in the preview, hence they just get extra detailed with the title
Yep! See my comment here for a more detailed explanation. I just wish that when they transitioned from WN -> LN -> Anime that they shortened/localized the titles better.
Nothing can beat the early days of long names and then fans shortening them. Boku ha Tomodachi ga sukunai getting shortened to haganai which phonetically sounds like I have no teeth actually made me watch the anime. It was pretty bad imo.
To be fair, they do help differentiate from passionate, talented creators and the kids who can’t even come up with a real name writing shit for fun on the Internet.
I would enjoy that first group getting more love, though.
I think many here might be surprised to learn that, with a title like that, this is an adaptation of a light novel series. /s
This one gives me vibes of the author finally getting the parry timing down in a video game then getting hooked, playing every game with parrying, still not being enough, then writing their own story about parrying.
This novel brought to you by Sekiro
The title sounds like the character I first beat Dark Souls with once I learned just how many enemies in the game, including the final boss, became trivially easy by just parrying and riposting.
