## Synopsis

Ragna Crimson (2023-2024) is a Japanese shounen anime series produced by Silver Link, Square Enix and King Records and aired on TOKYO MX and BS11. Ragna, voiced by Chiaki Kobayashi, teams up with the enigmatic Crimson, voiced by Ayumu Murase, to confront the dragons menacing the world. Leonica (Inori Minase) and Chimera (Mamiko Noto) round out the principal cast in this single-season run of twenty-four episodes. The engine of the story is a partnership built on aligned goals and unspoken secrets, as the pair hunt dragons across a dark fantasy landscape while Crimson's true motives stay hidden. Each stretch of the season is built from monster battles, shifting alliances and escalating stakes, with the fights carrying a grim, heavy weight. The tone is intense and brooding, with bursts of propulsive action and a streak of heroic camaraderie. Its dragon-slaying spectacle and mystery of its ally will appeal to fans of Berserk and Attack on Titan, and to viewers who enjoy Dragon Ball Z style battles.
