'I'm Dating a Dark Summoner!' Anime Announces Cast and October 2025 Release Date
The popular webtoon adaptation 'I'm Dating a Dark Summoner!' anime has announced its highly anticipated cast and release date. According to Anime News Network, the series is set to air in October 2025. The director's chair is occupied by Seiya Miyajima (Umayon, BanG Dream! Girls Band Party! Pico).
Miyajima will also write the scripts for the short films. The original story is based on a popular South Korean webtoon written by Moon Sori and published on Kakao Webtoon. 'I'm Dating a Dark Summoner!' combines fantasy and romance genres, telling the adventures of a young woman who dates a dark sorcerer.
The animation production is handled by Studio Pierrot, the company previously known for major works like Naruto and Bleach. Although the broadcaster has not been finalized yet, it is expected to air on TV Tokyo and some digital platforms in Japan. Globally, major services like Crunchyroll or Netflix are likely to acquire the license.
The webtoon has been published since 2021 and has gained a large fanbase with over 140 episodes. The original story's first season ended in 2023, and work on the second season is ongoing. The anime adaptation is expected to have about 12 episodes in its first season, but no official confirmation has been made yet. Fans anticipate that the anime will cover the first 40-50 chapters of the webtoon.
This news is an exciting development for webtoon fans and those looking for romance-fantasy anime. Especially Seiya Miyajima's success in previous short and entertaining works raises hopes for the quality of this adaptation. The anime, set to premiere in October 2025, will continue to stay in the spotlight in the coming months with new trailers and character reveals.
