Leading the voice cast for the upcoming series are two prominent figures in the anime industry.

Joining her is Maaya Uchida, who will voice Iko, an attendant character in the series. Both voice actresses are scheduled to appear at a special stage event for Kunon the Sorcerer Can See Through at AnimeJapan 2025 on March 23, where further details about the production might be revealed.
January 2026 Premiere Set
Fans can mark their calendars for January 2026, as Kunon the Sorcerer Can See Through is officially slated for a winter release. While specific broadcast dates and platforms are yet to be fully detailed, Crunchyroll has confirmed that they will be streaming the series in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and India. An earlier announcement in March 2025, alongside the teaser visual and cast reveals, confirmed the anime’s production.
A Glimpse into the Teaser and Story
The recently released teaser visual offers a compelling look at Kunon, depicting the blindfolded sorcerer skillfully manipulating water magic. This imagery resonates with the core premise of the story: Kunon, born without sight, embarks on an extraordinary quest to use water magic to create new eyes for himself. This ambitious goal is a feat no sorcerer has ever accomplished.
The narrative follows Kunon’s rapid rise in the magical world. After only five months of dedicated study, he surpasses his own mentor, showcasing a prodigious talent. His growing repertoire of skills allows him to sense colors, conjure useful items, and even create lifelike constructs from water. Kunon’s ingenuity and magical prowess eventually catch the attention of the royal court, earning him a position as a disciple to the land’s most powerful magician.
