Harry Potter with a sword. That’s how fans describe Reign of the Seven Spellblades. The story is about students attending a prestigious and mysterious magic school. There, they will uncover the truth that magic isn’t all roses.
Many fans were puzzled and almost believed that the anime got canceled because there is no further information related to the anime since the announcement on the first day of the Dengenki Bunko Winter Festival 2021 event in December 2021.
But, good news comes from Bokuto Uno’s Reign of the Seven Spellblades. After more than a year, Warner Bros Japan finally opened an official website. The website includes an almost complete list of information related to the anime. They released broadcast decisions, visual teasers, PV, cast, and staff.
It turns out that the fans don’t have to wait that long because the Reign of the Seven Spellblades will premiere in July 2023.
Here we have a list of other things that you should know regarding this magic anime.
Reign of the Seven Spellblades PV and Key Visual
The teaser video was released on March 9, 2023. This PV provides us with the background of the story of the series. It uses the combination of magic and school genre which is not that rare.
So, what is the difference between other anime series in the same genre? There is no denying that this series will involve blood because, in the first scene, we have several students trampled to death.
Many assume that the series is a unique combination of Harry Potter and Made in Abyss. With that comment alone, we can guess what this anime will entail.
The visual teaser shows the six main characters’ character designs. Starting from the left, we have Guy Greenwood, Hanao Hibiya, Oliver Horn, Aalto Katie, and Michela McFarlane.

Reign of the Seven Spellblades Story
