The official website for the 9-nine- Ruler’s Crown TV anime has started streaming the second promotional video and confirmed that the anime will premiere its first two episodes as a one-hour special on July 5th, 2025. The anime will debut first on the Tokyo MX channel on July 5th, at 22:00 and then on the BS NTV channel at midnight. The anime will also be streamed on various streaming platforms in Japan from July 5th onwards.
Ouhata Kouichi (Bakuretsu Tenshi, Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny) is directing the anime at PRA studios.
The anime is based on Palette’s 9-nine-game, which consists of four episodes/parts. Publisher and developer Palette initially released all four episodes separately for PC between 2017 and 2020. Then, in April 2021, the company released all episodes as a bundle for PC. Palette also released the game for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in June 2022.
All of the game’s episodes share the same setting, but each focuses on a different heroine. Publisher Sekai Project released the games in English for PC via Steam, and it describes the games below:
“9-nine- is a tale of the town of Shiromitsugawa, host to mysterious Artefacts and the superpowers they bestow on their Users. A tale of growing trust and budding romance between the protagonist and the heroine, and also a murder mystery where they hunt down the culprit behind a series of supernatural murders.”
It’s been announced that a new 9-nine spin-off game will be released for PC in the Winter of 2025.
