There’s a set of cool videos for Trails of Cold Steel Northern War, but also a weird butt-pose poster which feels out of place.
Crunchyroll has an English-subtitled trailer, but it’s blocked in some regions.
If that’s no good, if YouTube’s geo-filtering is blocking you, then this unsubbed is an alternative.
The anime is based on Nihon Falcom’s The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel game series.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel is a role-playing game which follows the story of Rean Schwarzer, a student at the Thors Military Academy, who, with his classmates, embarks on a journey to discover the truth behind a hidden political conspiracy.
The game features an expansive turn-based battle system and a range of side activities, such as fishing and cooking. Players can customize their characters using a deep character customization system and build relationships with other characters in the game. The story is told through multiple perspectives, and the game features multiple endings.
The anime will air in Japan on the 8th of January, and Crunchyroll will steam it simultaneously.
There have been two posters for the game, one we’ve seen before and the new one with the spine-twisting post.
