As a longtime fan of anime and all things gorilla-related (I once spent a month researching gorilla behavior for a cosplay project), I am beyond thrilled about the upcoming anime “Having Been Blessed by The Gorilla God, The Young Lady is Loved by The Royal Knights.” The title alone is enough to pique my interest, but the premise of a young lady with super strength granted by a gorilla deity? Sign me up!
These anime series such as Digimon, Pokemon, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and One-Punch Man share an element in common: they incorporate gorillas into their narratives to advance their plots. Although each franchise features gorillas in supporting roles, a fresh anime set for release next year, “Blessed by The Gorilla God, The Young Lady is Loved by The Royal Knights,” has a pivotal part revolving around a potent primate. With its amusing title and intriguing premise, this upcoming series is certainly worth exploring in 2025.
The Royal Princess introduced by author Shirohi in 2020 made its debut as a novel series and quickly garnered enough popularity to be adapted into a manga the following year, in 2021. Despite the conclusion of the novel series, the manga has continued to release new installments, paving the way for an exciting anime adaptation. Alongside the announcement of the anime, it was confirmed that “Gorilla” will be produced by Studio Diomedea. Known for their work on shows such as “Sky Wizards Academy”, “Magical Witch Punie-Chan”, “Futsal Boys”, “Domestic Girlfriend”, and numerous others, Studio Diomedea has yet to take on a project like “Gorilla God”.

The Gorilla is Coming
You might be curious about the plot of this anime featuring gorillas as its central theme. The upcoming series revolves around Sophia, a noble’s daughter living in a unique world distinct from ours. She is due to receive a blessing from an anime deity, and chosen by the “Gorilla God,” which bestows upon her incredible super strength, enabling her to lift over a thousand pounds. Although Sophia did not seek combat, the Royal Knights view her as a promising candidate for their world’s military forces because of this “blessing.
It’s been confirmed that the upcoming anime is set to debut next year, and Studio Diomedea has unveiled a fresh poster, as well as revealing the voice actors and creative team who will bring this series to life in the new year. Actress Kanna Nakamura (known for her role in “I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History”) will lend her voice to Sophia, while Takeo Otsuka (“Apothecary Diaries”) will play Louis, Reiji Kawashima (“Mashle: Magic And Muscles”) will voice Isaac, and Takuma Nagatsuka (“SK8 The Infinity”) will portray Eddie.
Honoring Gorilla Day
In a conversation with Natalie from Comic earlier this year, the creator of the series, Shirohi, explained their choice of a gorilla as the deity in the story. “When considering what symbolizes ‘great power’, I thought of gorillas,” Shirohi said. “Power equals gorilla.” They found it intriguing to mix gorillas with young ladies and thus, the concept of a young lady favored by the gorilla god was developed. Additionally, Shirohi initially intended for Carissa, Sophia’s tormentor at school, to be one of the main characters. The story revolved around the competition between Sophia and Carissa, both blessed by the most powerful deity, over quiet Louis-kun, who also received blessings from the same deity.
Shirohi went on to say, “I chose to concentrate exclusively on the story of the gorilla protector, turning it into a genre where multiple males are involved, and the romantic aspect proved effective. As I delved deeper into the narrative with this setting, I discovered that gorillas possess remarkable strength coupled with tender hearts. This fit Sophia’s character perfectly, making me believe that it was destiny.
