Kunon the Sorcerer Can See

Kunon is a young man who cannot see, yet he dreams of giving himself a new pair of eyes through water magic. In a city where magic is studied like science, he trains relentlessly and, in five short months, outpaces his mentor with a bold ambition: to perform a feat no one has achieved before. The show follows his early experiments, his stubborn curiosity, and the unlikely allies he gathers along the way. Without spoiling what comes next, the story promises a vivid blend of fantasy and sci fi as Kunon learns that seeing with more than just eyes can alter reality. The visuals lean into luminescent water magic and shadowy streets, inviting viewers to feel his growing world as it becomes real and a sense of awe.

Directed by Hideaki Ōba, the series is an original concept from Minamino Umikaze and Yuki Enatsu with Saori Hayami voicing Kunon and a supporting cast led by Maaya Uchida, Akari Kito, Rikako Yamaguchi, and Nobunaga Shimazaki.

As of now there are no major award nominations announced for Kunon the Sorcerer Can See. The show has generated curiosity for its bold premise and its animated action sequences, with critics noting strong character work and striking water magic visuals.
