The cast list is not unveiled in the video, nevertheless, you may be able to figure out who the voice actors are based on what you hear.
Kodansha describes the story as thus:
"At age 10, best friends Musashi and Kojiro sat in excited silence as Kojiro's father spun tales of evil demons who preyed on the innocent, and the warriors who defeated them. Practicing swordplay, the two swear an oath to become the strongest in the world. But as they grow up, Kojiro turns cynical, and Musashi comes to realize that he can't turn back 150 years of demon rule on his own. He's being called a prodigy with a pickaxe, and he's almost ready to settle for a life of labor. Yet he can't shake the feeling that he still has a responsibility to act…and, soon, the injustices of his world will force his hand…"
The Orient TV anime series is expected to premiere in 2021 and fans have good reason to be excited about this! We will keep you updated as more information comes forward.
