The news was announced on the official website for the anime adaptation of the light novels written by Kuji Furumiya and illustrated by Chibi, “Unnamed Memory.” A second promotional video for the project was presented, which confirms the premiere scheduled for next April 9 in Japan and shows us snippets of the musical themes: “Yobigode,” the opening theme performed by the musical unit Tei, and the closing theme, “Blank,” performed by the musical unit Arika, formed by the guitarist Yamato and the voice actress Yuuko Natsuyoshi.

Synopsis
“Unnamed Memory” is a series of light novels that revolves around the life of Oscar, a young cursed prince, and Tinasha, a powerful witch known as the “Witch of the Forbidden Forest.” The curse that weighs on Oscar prevents him from becoming king, and in his desperate search for a solution, he meets Tinasha, who is rumored to have the ability to break any curse.
Despite her cold and distant attitude, Tinasha agrees to help Oscar on the condition that he takes her as his wife. As they spend time together, Oscar discovers that Tinasha hides a tragic and mysterious past, related to her magical powers and the loss of her memories. The relationship between them slowly develops, moving from a pragmatic alliance to a deep emotional connection.
Meanwhile, Oscar must face the political intrigues of the court and the challenges of ruling a kingdom. The plot becomes more complicated with the appearance of enemies both external and internal, who seek to take advantage of the vulnerability of the cursed prince. As Oscar and Tinasha struggle to overcome the obstacles in their path, they uncover hidden secrets that could change the fate of both of them and the entire kingdom. The story of “Unnamed Memory” is a mix of romance, fantasy, and drama, exploring themes such as the power of love, redemption, and the search for identity.
