The upcoming anime series My Isekai Life (also known as My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Character Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World!) has released its first teaser trailer and cast announcements. The series will air in 2022.
The series is being adapted from the light novel series of the same name and is being animated by REVOROOT. Pony Canyon is producing the show’s music.
Teaser Trailer
Chiaki Kobayashi (Makoto Edamura in Great Pretender, Langa Hasegawa in SK8 the Infinity) will take on the rule of Yuji. The fairy Dryad will be played by Azumi Waki (Sanae Katagiri in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, Maika Sakuranomiya in Blend S), while Proudwolf will be portrayed by Wataru Takagi (Eikichi Onizuka in GTO, Obito Uchiha in Naruto).
Comment from Chiaki Kobayashi (Yuji)
Yuji has an incredible amount of mental strength from working at a terrible company. Even after his reincarnation in a new world, he is relatively unfazed by the new world around him. Although he’s tough, I hope I can express his more kind and charming side. Please enjoy!
Comment from Azumi Waki (Dryad)
I’m thankful to have been chosen for the role of Dryad! She is a spirit of the forest and is very gentle and healing, so I hope I can express that to the audience. (Although, I promise the slimes that appear in the show are equally cute, lol.) The interactions between Yuji and myself are hilarious, so I hope you’ll enjoy those as much as the battle scenes!
Comment from Wataru Takagi (Proudwolf)
Although Proudwolf is usually quite timid, as Yuji’s right-hand man, I hope that I can convey some of his strength. There are also a ton of cute slimes in the series! I’m looking forward to working with so many new people, and to see what we can create together.
The My Isekai Life novel was published in 2017 with a light novel series beginning in 2018 and continuing to this day. A manga series also began in 2018, and is licensed in North America by Square Enix.
My Isekai Life follows Yuji Sano, who works at a company that is horrible to its employees. After heading home to do some overtime work, he gets a message on his computer reading “You have been summoned to an alternate world!” This game-like world is complete with status bars and special skills, and Yuji quickly becomes aware of his own magical powers. His journey in this other world begins when he follows a slime, the weakest of all monsters.
An exact date for the anime’s premiere will be announced soon.

The song has been chosen to serve as the opening song for the anime series Chillin’ in My 30s After Getting Fired from the Demon King’s Army which began airing on TOKYO MX on January 7. The series has been adapted from the popular manga series by Rurekuchie currently serialized in Monthly Young Magazine.
Hinano’s debut song nocturne was produced by Yuki Kajiura and served as the theme song for the anime film Deemo: Memorial Keys. Her next song Virginia was chosen as the ending theme for My Master Has No Tail.
The new song CHANGEMAKER shows Hinano trying her hand at creating a rock track for the first time. “When I first listened to the tentative track, I wondered if I could do it justice. It seemed so difficult, I didn’t know if I could sing it,” Hinano said. “By really feeling the song with both my mind and body, I channeled my will and was able to sing it properly.” The music video for CHANGEMAKER was also released on January 7.
Hinano「CHANGEMAKER」The up-tempo rock sound combined with Hinano’s incredible singing ability makes this track unforgettable. Inspired by the desire to light up a dark world, this song is sure to make even the most gloomy day bearable.
