The service released an English-subtitled trailer alongside the announcement. Acali Arimiya directs the shorts and is also the character designer, co-writing the scripts with Araki Humisato. WWWave Corporation's Deregula animation studio produces. Rei Takano returns as Amona, Yuki Nishiyama as Roni, and Semmai Hodentei as Imp, all reprising their roles from the main series. The shorts place the cast in new settings, including a cafe, an office, and a school. The main anime premiered on Tokyo MX on October 4 at 25:20 (effectively October 5 at 1:20 a.m.) and on BS11 on October 7, with HIDIVE streaming it as it airs. Shaoh's original manga launched in Kadokawa's Dra Dra Sharp# online magazine in 2021, and Kadokawa published the eighth compiled volume on October 9.","whyItMatters":"The shorts are a separate production with their own director, script, and studio schedule, so HIDIVE is adding a second Dark Summoner title this season rather than extending the episode order of the main series.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAnime Corner framed its coverage as an exclusive, and the piece headlines a key visual alongside the subtitled trailer.
