The two new previews of Kimisen (Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World) highlight the turbulent relationship between the main characters, showing each one's perspective on the other.
The first preview is of Iska, 16 years old. A talented wielder of the twin swords “Hoshiken”. His goal is to stop the war, but he has a light and gentle personality; he doesn't compromise his beliefs.
The second preview is of Aliceliese Lou Nebulis IX, 17 years old. A powerful witch feared by the empire as an "ice witch." She believes in a better world, but in battle she suppresses her emotions, even though she is naturally sensitive and kind.
Synopsis
A great war has raged for years between the scientifically advanced Empire and Nebulis, the kingdom of magical girls – until the youngest knight to ever receive the title of strongest in the Empire meets the princess of the rival nation. They are sworn enemies… yet the knight is drawn to her beauty and honor, while the princess is moved by his strength and way of life. Will their struggle ever end?
