Publisher Kadokawa announced on Tuesday a television anime adaptation of Kuji Furumiya's Unnamed Memory light novel and revealed the main cast, staff, and a teaser visual (pictured). The anime is scheduled to premiere in 2023.

Yoshiki Nakajima (Plunderer) and Atsumi Tanezaki (Mahoutsukai no Yome) are starring as Oscar and Tinasha, respectively.

Staff
Director: Kazuya Miura (Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu, Kyuukyoku Shinka shita Full Dive RPG ga Genjitsu yori mo Kusoge Dattara)
Series Composition: Deko Akao (Hitomi Mieno) (Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu, Meikyuu Black Company)
Character Design: Chika Noumi (Hataage! Kemono Michi, KanColle: Itsuka Ano Umi de)
Music: Akito Matsuda (Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho, Hibike! Euphonium)
Studio: ENGI

Furumiya began writing the fantasy romance story on his personal website in 2008 before posting on the Shousetsuka ni Narou starting in September 2012. Kadokawa published the story in six volumes with its Dengeki no Shin Bungei imprint, featuring illustrations by chibi from September 2019 to April 2021.

Naoki Etsuma began serializing a manga adaptation on the Monthly Dengeki Daioh magazine in September 2020. Kadokawa shipped the third volume on June 10, with the fourth volume scheduled to release on January 10.

Yen Press licensed the light novel and manga in English. The sixth and final volume of the light novel released on October 18, while the second manga volume is scheduled to ship on February 21.

Synopsis
"My wish as champion is for you to descend the tower and be my wife." Climbing a deadly tower, Oscar seeks the power of its master, the Witch of the Azure Moon. He hopes her incredible magic can break a curse that will kill any woman he takes for a wife. When the prince sees how beautiful Tinasha is, though, he has a better idea—since she's surely strong enough to survive his curse, she should just marry him instead! Tinasha isn't keen on the idea, but agrees to live with Oscar in the royal castle for a year while researching the spell placed on the prince. The witch's pretty face hides several lifetimes of dark secrets, however—secrets that begin resurfacing… (Source: Yen Press)

Tinasha seems to be an interesting wife to have, she's quite hot too. Hopefully there's some action in this to balance out the romance. Also Oscar is using his noggin unlike most fantasy and definitely isekai protags, solving his wife killing curse issue right off the bat.

I agree with you. Hope they adapt all the novel carefully in 24-26 episodes!

This seems to be the type of anime I love ( romance + fantasy ) , they better make it full adaptation since the source is finished .

For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully.
And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, “My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”
(Holy Quran 17:23-24).

Oh, I just finished reading the first volume last night.

Oscar personality is hilarious.

Oh, wow, i thought this was gonna be some generic shit again, but it actually looks like it's a decent story despite coming from a light novel, who would have thought!

And there doesn't seem to be any ecchi or harem in sight, congratulations to the author!!! I will add this to my PTW!!! :D

Why does Light Novel source material matter? A lot of Manga and Anime start out as LN's... Though from looking through your dropped list and ability to give Digimon a 10/10 let's me know more than everything I need to know about your lack of understanding when it comes to anime kid.... Maybe go back to watching cartoon network or keep the comments to yourself scooter.

Light novel tends to have deeper plot and characters compared to manga but most of them have a terrible adaptation.

I am currently in the middle of reading Volume 2. No harem nor ecchi, it is fantasy/romance LN~

this has to be one of my all time favorite works of fiction, it's really well paced, well written and just a very beautiful story overall. Hopefully the anime covers the first three volumes, because that will allow it to end the season with a proper complete arc.

Tho the studio worries me a lot, the staff isn't half bad, specially director and series compositor; idk about character designer tho... I really really hope they do the LN justice, and since it is completed, hopefully they plan on adapting the whole thing. I will keep my expectations low and wait for everyone's veredict, cause i dont want to be disappointed.
