The main cast includes:

The story is based on a video game by Aquaplus, which describes it as the “final chapter of Utawarerumono series”. WHITE FOX animated the Utawarerumono: The False Faces anime, which aired throughout the Fall 2015 and Winter 2016 seasons and had 25 episodes. Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth is a direct sequel.
The first Utawarerumono anime (by studio OLM) aired in Spring 2006. A three-episode OVA aired from 2009 to 2010 and focused on side stories from the game, that were not a part of the first season.
