Nia Liston Locks Supporting Cast as Fall Debut Draws Near

The production committee for Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden has filled out the circle around its god-slaying heroine. Fresh from the official site, three new voice roles join lead Honoka Inoue (Nia Liston): Fuuka Izumi as devoted maid-guard Rinokis Funk, Rina Honnizumi as royal broadcast star Hildetora Altoir, and Rina Hidaka as rival noble Reliared Silver.

Alongside the casting reveal, the team dropped a new key visual and the series’ first promotional video—giving fans their clearest look yet at the frail-looking heiress whose soul once belonged to a legendary warrior. Motoki Nakanishi is directing at KONAMI animation, with Gigaemon Ichikawa on series composition and music by Naoki Endō.

Broadcast is locked for Tuesday, October 6, 2026, starting at 9:25 p.m. on Tokyo MX, with MBS and BS Nippon TV following the same night. Before that, a special stage event and advance screening of the first three episodes hits esports TOKYO BAY studio on September 22. Adapted from Umikaze Minamino’s HJ Bunko light novel (over 2.1 million copies in print), the anime is shaping up as one of fall’s most personality-forward action fantasies.
