The 9-nine- Ruler’s Crown TV anime’s second trailer has been released along with the announcement of an hour-long premiere on July 5 JST. The premiere features the anime’s first two episodes.
The trailer includes a preview of the newly revealed opening song “ResoNAnce” by Araki.
9-nine- Ruler’s Crown is inspired by the PALETTE-developed visual novel series 9-nine-, which began in 2017. The visual novel’s episodes started arriving on Steam with English support in 2019. Steam describes 9-nine-: Episode 1 as:
9-nine- Episode 1 is the first volume in a series of supernatural mystery games, with Episode 1 telling a story centered around Miyako Kujo. The entries in the the 9-nine- series share the same setting and world, but each entry focuses on a different heroine. 9-nine- is a tale of the town of Shiromitsugawa, host to mysterious Artifacts and the superpowers they bestow on their Users. A tale of growing trust and budding romance between the protagonist and the heroine, and also a murder mystery where they hunt down the culprit behind a series of supernatural murders. Each game has an independent story that can be enjoyed on its own. We hope you enjoy the experience that is the 9-nine- series.
9-nine-‘s all-ages version was released for Windows in Japan in 2021, and later for PS4 and Nintendo Switch in 2022. The anime shares its main cast with this version.
