The anime will premiere in April.
The fantasy story is set in an alternate world where one can choose the form in which one is reincarnated — but choices like the “demon king” or the “hero with cheat skills in a harem” are so popular that one would have to wait in line for one to 50 thousand years. So, our protagonist chooses to be reincarnated over and over again into other bizarre forms, such as the rib of a hero with cheat skills in a harem story’s happy ending, a hermit crab, or a vegetable.
The cast includes:
Kana Asumi, Yuka Iguchi, Marina Inoue, Yūji Ueda, Yūma Uchida, Megumi Ogata, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Tomoko Kaneda, Ayako Kawasumi, Ayana Taketatsu, Shigeru Chiba, Miina Tominaga, Kazuya Nakai, Yōko Hikasa, Nobuyuki Hiyama, Yoshikazu Hirano, Minori Fujidera, Maxwell Powers, Rica Matsumoto, Shinichirō Miki, Ayumu Murase, and more are also cast members in unspecified roles.
Yasufumi Soejima (Ensemble Stars!) is directing the anime at the studios Qzil.la and S.o.K. Kōpo and Kagiji Kumanomata (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle) are credited for the image illustrations and original animation character designs, respectively. Zipper Sōjō is in charge of series scripts, and Miki Matsumoto (Roll Over and Die, Uglymug, Epicfighter, Summer Time Rendering) is designing the characters. Yūta Uraki, Kayo Konishi, Yukio Kondō, Nomi (VSQ sports), and Shunya Watanabe are composing the music.
