The anime adaptation of "The Tale of the Tiamoon Empire: A Princess's Reincarnation Reversal Story Beginning from the Guillotine" will begin airing in October 2023. Originally a novel published by Let's Become a Novelist, it was adapted into a novel by TO Books in 2019, a comic by COMIC Corona, and a stage play in 2020, quickly becoming a media mix. And with an anime adaptation due to arrive this fall, the momentum shows no signs of slowing down. In this article, we'd like to introduce the people who helped create this series.
The production company is "SILVER LINK."
SILVER LINK. was founded in 2007 by Itsuto Kaneko, former head of production and producer at the production company Frontline. After merging with subsidiary CONNECT, Inc. in 2020, the company became a subsidiary of Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings, Inc., and continues to produce anime.
Many Popular Titles Produced
Even after becoming a subsidiary of Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings, they have produced many popular titles, including "I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense," "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!," and "The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History's Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants." This time, they will be producing "Tiermoon Empire."
The original work is by "Mochizuki Nozomi"
The original author of "Tiermoon Empire" is Mochizuki Nozomi, who has been active as a light novel writer since 2008. After graduating from Amusement Media Academy, he began working as a professional writer. While many of his works have been adapted into novels, "Tiermoon Empire" is still a popular ongoing work, having been adapted into a stage play and anime. The eighth part of the series is currently being published on "Let's Become a Novelist." If you're interested, we recommend you read the original work.
The director is Yuji Ibe
Yuji Ibe, who will be directing this film, has participated in directing and storyboarding on numerous projects. Since around 2021, he has served as assistant director on SILVER LINK. productions such as "The Black Company Labyrinth," "Jahy-sama Won't Be Discouraged!", "The Strongest Demon Lord in History is Reincarnated as Villager A," and "My Recently Hired Maid is Suspicious." This marks his directorial debut. We're excited to see what kind of direction he'll bring to "Tiermoon Empire."
Series composition by "Akao Deko"
Akao Deko made her debut as a singer at the age of 13 after entering a songwriting contest for "Mashhin Hero Wataru 3" and winning the Director Iuchi Award. Since then, she has been active in a variety of fields, including singing, lyricist, radio personality, broadcast writer, and screenwriter. In recent years, she has been active behind the scenes, working primarily as a screenwriter and series composer for animation.
Akao Deko is for screenwriters!?
Akao Deko originally goes by the name "Mieno Hitomi." She uses the name "Akao Deko" when working as a screenwriter, and goes by "Morinaga Tamachi" when working as a scriptwriter or event host. The name "Akao Deko" is apparently derived from one character of the name of her screenwriting mentor, Akahori Satoru.
The role of Meer Luna Tiermoon will be played by Sumire Uesaka.
The protagonist, Princess Meer, will be played by Sumire Uesaka. Known for her love of Russia, she reportedly experienced a revelation when she heard the song "The Soviet Union" as a high school student. A graduate of the Department of Russian Studies at Sophia University's Faculty of Foreign Studies, she is a die-hard Russia otaku, greeting people in Russian on radio and at events, and talking about Russian culture. She appeared in "Girls und Panzer" as Nonna, showcasing her Russian language proficiency by singing "Cossack Lullaby." She also provided Russian language instruction and appeared on the staff commentary, demonstrating her dedication to the project.
The Depth of Sumire Uesaka
In addition to being a fan of Russia, Sumire is also a lover of Lolita fashion and works as a model. She has a deep knowledge of manga, anime, and games, and enjoys both pop and subculture. Her listening habits range from anime songs to Showa-era pop and idol songs, as well as general rock and military songs. She also excels at illustration. Sumire Uesaka is also a huge fan of the military, and she happily discusses Soviet-era weaponry on the radio. It's hard to sum up the character of Sumire Uesaka in a single sentence. This voice actress, who doesn't fit the mold of a typical voice actress, is a radio personality, singer, and illustrator. If you're interested in her work as a radio personality, singer, and illustrator, I'm sure you'll find a new perspective on the characters she plays.
Recommended Recent Works by Sumire Uesaka
She played the role of Lum in the remake of "Urusei Yatsura" that aired last year, so I hesitated to recommend this work, but I'd recommend "Spy Classroom Season 2," which will air this summer. The film is entertaining, and the cast features a stellar cast of voice actors, making it worth watching for that reason alone. Incidentally, the protagonist is played by Yuichiro Umehara, who also voiced Ludwig.
Anne Litstein is played by Tomori Kusunoki
The role of Anne, the aide's maid, is played by Tomori Kusunoki. She is active as both a voice actress and singer-songwriter. She made her voice acting debut in "Eromanga Sensei" in 2017, and in 2020, she made her solo major debut as a singer with "Hamidashimono," the ending theme song for "The Misfit of Demon King Academy," in which she also plays the heroine. She has continued her career as a voice actress, holding a hall tour in 2022 and releasing her first albums, "PRESENCE" and "ABSENCE," this year, followed by a nationwide live tour.

She is also highly regarded for her voice acting skills, and in her signature role of Ren in "Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online," she brilliantly portrays both the real world and the in-game character. Like Natsuki Hanae and Risa Taneda, Kusunoki didn't attend a voice acting school, but instead self-taught. This is evident in her recent work. She's one of the voice actors whose future endeavors are sure to be exciting.

Kusunoki has also appeared in many works in recent years, playing a variety of characters. One of the most talked-about roles is "Chainsaw Man," and many fans will likely associate her with her role as Makima. However, I'd like to recommend "Spy Classroom Season 2," the same series as Uesaka. She plays Annette, a completely different character from Makima, so be sure to check it out.
Yuichiro Umehara as Ludwig Hewitt
Yuichiro Umehara plays Ludwig, Meer's wise counselor. He says he became interested in voice acting after seeing "The Lord of the Rings" in junior high and being captivated by the voice of Yoshitada Otsuka, who played Aragorn. He made his debut as Kuroo Hazama in "Young Black Jack" in 2015. After winning the Best New Actor Award at the 10th Seiyuu Awards in 2016, he gained attention as a handsome voice actor, earning fans the nickname "The Prince of the Low Voice."
Sweet, Deep Voice
Umehara had been steadily gaining popularity as a voice actor, but in 2018, he was forced to take a break from work due to acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Fortunately, his condition was not serious, and he was able to resume his work while taking his health into consideration. His health seems to have improved, as his recent performance has been remarkable. Every season, when I watch a new series, if I see a character with a sweet, deep voice, I'm sure many fans think, "Here we go again, Yuichiro Umehara!" He's so well-known that it's easy to think so. The deep voices of the Demon King and the nobles, in particular, almost always sound like they're from Umehara.
Recommended Recent Works by Umehara
It's extremely difficult to recommend a recent work by Umehara. There are so many characters I want to recommend. So, I'll go ahead and recommend "The Misfit of Demon King Academy II: History's Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants." When it comes to the Demon King, it's undoubtedly Yuichiro Umehara. The series was postponed due to the effects of COVID-19, but it will finally begin airing in July. Be sure to enjoy the sweet, deep-voiced Demon King.
