The upcoming anime adaptation of The Faraway Paladin (Saihate no Paladin) will premiere later this year in October.
The series follows William G. Maryblood, a young man who was abandoned in the frontier. He’s taken in by three undead, the skeleton warrior Blood, the mummy priestess Mary, and the ghostly mage Augustus.
Together, the three raise William while watching over the seal of the High King, a powerful demon that the three sealed away when they were alive. As William grows older, encouraged by the goodliness of his adoptive parents he’s soon forced to say goodbye after swearing his life to Gracefeel, the goddess of flame and passing on.
