As reported back in August, the new TV anime/special announced at Jump Festa was Black Clover. Now, a portion of next week's Shonen Jump magazine has been scanned and posted online, which reveals that Shun Horie and Soma Saito are voicing Asta and Yuno in the anime adaptation of Yūki Tabata's long-running shonen manga. Xebec will be the studio handling animation.
Currently, the special will be shown during the Jump Festa's tour of Japan, which kicks off in November. There are currently no details on when it will be aired on TV but expect more information to be released in the coming weeks. We may actually receive those details in the aformentioned Shonen Jump issue which will hit newstands on Monday.
Also being screened during the Jump Festa tour is a special episode of
My Hero Academia which will be set between season one and season two.
