The premise of a blind magician is really unique—it flips the typical fantasy tropes and creates interesting challenges for the protagonist. Fantasy anime focused on magic research sound interesting because they explore the theory and mechanics behind spells rather than just action. Magic anime are always the best; you get some of the best action sequences when creators can really let their imagination run wild with spell effects and magical battles.

The TV anime "Kunon the Sorcerer Can See" (Mahoutsukai Kunon wa Mieteiru) has announced its broadcast start date as January 4, 2026. Additional cast members and a new key visual were also revealed today.

Additional Cast Announced

Jenier Kors (Non's magic teacher) - Tachikako Yamaguchi (Known for: Nico Robin in One Piece, Kiyoko Shimizu in Haikyu!!)

Zeonly Finroll (palace magician) - Nobunaga Shimazaki (Known for: Haruka Nanase in Free!, Eugeo in Sword Art Online: Alicization)

Cast Comments:

Tachikako Yamaguchi on Jenier: "Jenier appears as Kunon-kun's teacher, but he is a hard worker who realizes his superior talent early on and struggles to see if he can teach him anything, and he is also admirable in his ability to aim properly for the top. Her slightly pitiful appearance is also cute. No, but the tsukkomi is also clear!"

Nobunaga Shimazaki on Zeonly: "He is quite an unconventional and free-spirited person, but even though he is swayed by Kunon, who is even more free-spirited than that, he is an outstanding person who can remain his master. Although he says a lot of things in his mouth, he somehow has a mastery of Kunon."

The key visual depicts Kunon alongside both Jenier and Zeonly.
