    The anime will air on Fuji TV on Sundays at 8:30 a.m. starting in October. Fuji TV is creating a new morning anime timeslot for the series for the first time in 10 years. The show is also airing in Hokkaido Bunka Hōsō,Sendai Broadcasting, Tokai TV, Kansai TV, Okayama Broadcasting, and TV Nishinippon. The show was previously listed at 48 episodes, with each episode being 30 minutes long.

    The anime's official website describes the story:
    Creating bonds with monsters, the rider's journey begins. This is a world where both men and monsters exist. Those who hunt the monsters are called Hunters. But in a small corner of the Hunter's world, there are those called Riders who bond with and coexist with monsters. With their Kizuna Ishi (Bonding Stones) that allow them to awaken the hidden power inside monsters, Riders live in secrecy together with their Otomon, the monsters they have formed a connection with.

    Ryuto, a young boy living in the Rider village of Hakum, dreams of becoming the world's best Rider. Having just turned 12, he sets out to find his own Otomon for himself before the ceremony where he is given his own Kizuna Ishi. Together with his kind-hearted childhood friend Shuval, his inquisitive childhood friend Lilia, and his partner Naviloo, he sets out deep into the forest, and has a miraculous encounter with a Rathalos.

    A story begins where a Rider and his Otomon will deepen their bond.

    Mutsumi Tamura as Ryuto
    M.A.O a Naviloo
    Ryota Ohsaka as Shuval
