The fourth trailer for the brand new anime Plunderer has been unveiled. The anime is set to premiere on a number of TV networks including TOKYO MX on January 8, 2020.
Plunderer Fourth Anime Trailer:
The series was created by Suu Minazuki who is also the author and illustrator for the popular manga series Heaven’s Lost Property. The Plunderer manga is a big hit in the monthly shōnen manga magazine Shōnen Ace and is set to release volume 14 on December 26.
The story is set in a fictional place called Althea, where the aftermath of the Waste War sees the weak perish and only the strong survive. Every person is valued with a “count”, which is a number score that can rise and fall depending on anything ranging from their achievements to even the compliments they receive. Once an individual’s count reaches zero, they are banished to the “Abyss”. The main protagonist Licht is a young man born in Althea and one of many who are forced into the desperate scrabble for a higher count. In the series, he meets a young, admirable female called Hina and starts to uncover the mystery of the world bit by bit.
As well as the series’ debut as an anime, information on the opening and ending theme songs has also been revealed. The opening theme song is called Plunderer and is performed by voice actress and artist Miku Ito. The song will be released for sale on February 12 as her 6th single and will be available in regular edition as well as in a special limited edition that comes with a DVD. If you’re curious as to what the opening theme sounds like, take a listen to the fourth trailer which was just dropped today.
The ending theme song is Hina’s character song “Countless days” and is performed by no other than the voice actress for Hina herself: Rina Honnizumi. The ending theme song will be sold as a single and released for sale on the same day as the opening theme song on February 12, 2020.
The anime opening and ending theme songs are just as exciting as the anime itself and are even more of a reason to join fans as they count down the days until the release of the anime.

The popular ongoing TV anime series Plunderer is set to get a new opening theme by Miku Itō and ending theme by Rina Honnizumi, Ari Ozawa, and Shizuka Itoーwho voice Hina, Lynn and Nana in the anime series respectivelyーfrom April 1, 2020.
Plunderer is a manga series written and illustrated by Suu Minazuki. Serialised in Monthly Shōnen Ace, the series put out its 14th volume in December last year. The action fantasy series is set in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by “Counts” (i.e. numbers) which determine a person’s existenceーwhether they are strong or weak. Hina sets off to find a certain person at the behest of her mother, and on her journey she meets Rihito. The mysteries of this world then begin to unravel and make themselves known.
The new opening theme is entitled Kokou no Hikari Lonely Dark, and it will be performed by Miku Itō who also sang the first opening theme Plunderer. The new ending theme is Reasons of Life which is being performed by three of the voice actors from the series. Both songs will be released on CD on May 27, 2020.
