A reboot of the fan-favorite 1998 TV anime series Sorcerer Stabber Orphen was
first announced back in March 2018 and we finally know when it will air. The official website for the project uploaded a new video which revealed that the series will start airing in Japan this January.
A 24-episode anime adaptation from Studio J.C. Staff originally began airing in 1998 and was followed by a sequel series in 1999. The light novel series concluded in 2003 after 20 volumes.
