The production team behind the upcoming television anime adaptation of Umikaze Minamino's light novel series Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden (Kyou Ran Reijou Nia Liston: Byoujaku Reijou ni Tensei shita Kami-goroshi no Bujin no Kareinaru Musou Roku) has revealed the series' ending theme song alongside a dedicated character unit visual.
The ending theme, titled "Tokimeki Un・Deux・Trois♪" (Heart Fluttering 1, 2, 3♪), is performed by in-universe idol unit Magic Vision Girls Party. The group features the vocal talents of main voice cast members Honoka Inoue (Nia Liston), Rina Honnizumi (Hildetora Altoir), and Rina Hidaka (Reliared Silver). The opening theme, "Respawn!!," is performed by popular hololive VTuber Tsunomaki Watame.
Production Details & Broadcast Schedule
Produced at KONAMI animation, the series is directed by Motoki Nakanishi (Love Is Indivisible by Twins) with assistant director Haruta Segi and series composition by Gigaemon Ichikawa. Character designs are adapted for animation by Yuuki Itou and Kana Tosaoka, based on the original light novel illustrations by Jishaku and Katana Canata. Naoki Endou is composing the musical score.
The story follows an undefeated martial god who passes away peacefully from old age—much to her deep frustration. Reincarnated into the frail, sickly body of noble daughter Nia Liston, the former battle fiend sets out to forge her fragile new physique into an unstoppable combat engine.
Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden is scheduled to premiere on October 6 on Tokyo MX, BS NTV, and MBS, running for two consecutive cours. HIDIVE has licensed the series for global simulcast streaming.
