Synopsis
Then one day, a giant nemesis attacks the village!
Seth wants to exterminate the root of all nemesis and save the world. So, he sets out on a journey to find the rumored land ‘Radiant’ where the nest of the nemesis is.
Three Episode Impression
Seth parallels Asta from Black Clover in a lot of ways. He’s very weak and wants to fight, so he travels. There is going to be lots of talk of discrimination in the series as humans hate the infected even though they have the power to fight the nemesis. In regards to Seth and Alma, this feels a lot like how the master for Ed and Al was in Fullmetal Alchemist. You know, tough love and all that nonsense. The series overall though, comes across as bland and generic. While apparently the original French comic (yup, this is a non-Japanese work) is loved by many, a lot of said fans are very angry online about the outcome of the anime. Watch if you like Shounen-esque shows, but don’t expect a whole lot. We are going to go ahead and pass on this show for the reasons above and that there are just better shows on air this season that we want to watch and Radiant doesn’t really pull us in.
Characters & Voice Actors List
Seth
Voice Actor: Yumiri Hanamori

Merie
Voice Actor: Aoi Yuuki
Merie is a mage whose characteristic is her bright red, tousled hair. She is a hunter in waiting who belongs to Artemis Academy.

Alma
Voice Actor: Romi Park
Alma is a veteran mage and the person who raised Seth. She is a tracking hunter. She lives together with Seth on a flying ship where she can observe nemesis.

She’s always getting angry, but she also has a side to her that is concerned about Seth.
