Kanagawa ni Sunderu Elf Light Anime Drops Second Trailer, Unveiling New Cast and The Folie Phantom Ending Theme

The anticipation surrounding the upcoming light anime adaptation of Kanagawa ni Sunderu Elf has intensified following the release of its second dynamic teaser trailer. This new preview offered a deeper look into the world of the fantasy comedy and unveiled crucial details regarding the series' soundscape and expanded talent roster.

Headlining the musical reveals is the ending theme song, “#KanaEruMagic! (feat. Masahiro Inoue).” This track, performed by the brass rock band The Folie Phantom, pulsates with energy, perfectly complementing the show’s contemporary and upbeat mood. This energetic selection prepares to introduce the extraordinary lives of Kanagawa’s mystical inhabitants to a global audience.

Expanded Voice Cast and Regional Focus

The teaser confirmed an impressive expansion of the voice acting team. New cast members have been enlisted to embody the diverse ensemble of elven and human residents scattered across the distinct districts and neighborhoods of Kanagawa Prefecture. This commitment to geographical authenticity is evident in the inclusion of characters representing key local areas such as Noge, Isezakichō, Chigasaki, Hiratsuka, Kamakura, Fujisawa, Ebina, the vibrant Yokohama Chinatown, and the modern Minatomirai area. This meticulous regional focus underscores the anime's deep connection to the specific culture and unique geography of Kanagawa, a hallmark feature inherited directly from the source material.

Originating from Yoroida’s popular manga series, Kanagawa ni Sunderu Elf establishes a compelling modern fantasy narrative rooted firmly in the real-world setting of Kanagawa Prefecture, located immediately south of metropolitan Tokyo. The core story centers on the unlikely yet unavoidable dynamic between "The Elf of Yokohama" and "The Human of Kawasaki." This unique comedy skillfully marries contemporary Japanese urban realities with elements of the fantastical, ultimately serving as a heartfelt celebration of regional pride and uncovering the magic hidden in everyday life.
