 The first day of the Dengeki Bunko Winter Festival 2021 event announced a television anime adaptation of Takuma Sakai's Buta no Liver wa Kanetsu Shiro (Heat the Pig Liver: The Story of a Man Turned Into a Pig) light novel on Saturday.  SynopsisAn unappealing otaku awakens in the body of a pig after he passes out while eating raw pig liver. The pig finds himself in the company of Jess, an innocent girl who can read people's minds, and she accepts him despite his boorish thoughts... although she does plan to eat him. When Jess is in danger of succumbing to a dark destiny, can Pig save her using only his quick wits, wisdom, and refined sense of smell? (Source: MU, edited) Buta no Liver wa Kanetsu Shiro, also known by its short title ButaLiver, won the Gold Award in the 26th Dengeki Novel Awards in 2019. Sakai began penning the comedy fantasy light novel on the Kakuyomu website last February. Dengeki Bunko began printing the series featuring illustrations by Asagi Toosaka (Girly Air Force, Seiken Gakuin no Makentsukai) last March and released the fifth volume on October 8 (pictured right). ButaLiver has a cumulative 100,000 copies of its volumes in circulation. Monthly Dengeki Maoh began serializing a manga adaptation by Minami last August. Kadokawa released the second volume on September 27. Novel special site: https://dengekibunko.jp/special/butaliver/ Source: Dengeki Online Buta no Liver wa Kanetsu Shiro on MAL |

| Living as a literal pig of a woman, truly a desire of Japanese nerds. |
 |
| what the actual fu |
 |
| whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy |
| What is with her and pigs, I'm confused. |
| I won't be watching this anime for sure lol. |
 |
| Guess isekai isn't halal anymore... |
| “Think not of your future or your past, just your current self. Think about the now and focus, then throw out your very identity” |
| I am fucking DEAD....This guy reincarnated as a PIG These authors must be stopped lol....I thought the vending machine thing was hilarious but boy was I wrong to think that it couldnt get funnier than that xD |
Tokoya said: There's also a manga about a researcher reincarnated as a virus and an isekai manga about Vladimir Putin.I am fucking DEAD....This guy reincarnated as a PIG These authors must be stopped lol....I thought the vending machine thing was hilarious but boy was I wrong to think that it couldnt get funnier than that xD |

 |
| Now you know why alcohol ads have "drink or enjoy responsibly" as a disclaimer, because this is a product of excessive drinking. Also, it's an isekai to make things worse. Boazanian said: Nice. still waiting for adaptation of vending machine Oh hell no, that was one of the worst isekai I've ever read. Ronninn said: Japan is really interesting. Hot spring Isekai when? No, that's no better than the vending machine isekai. |
 |
| Premise is as stupid as... usual? By now I learned to not judge by those tbh. Even the most stupid sounding anime can turn out to be great thanks to well written characters, good story development or just comedy working out. So yeah, I'll be checking this one. |
| wtf how did i end up here? ... |
| I’ll leave tomorrow’s problems to tomorrow’s me. |
| There are all sorts of good and popular LNs around, and this pigsty is what they pick for an anime adaptation? |
 |

| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| BUTA YAROU Senpai this ain't one... And all the pig comments gotta rage now. @RobertBobert please advise our kind souls :) |
 |
| Hope we can get to see pig banging girl in thumbnail. |
| "When they're alive, you can enjoy watching them struggle. When they're dead, you can enjoy tearing out their guts. Tales are things you get to enjoy twice." |
| Surely the last thing we as a humanity needed. |
 |
| Okay Japan, if this shit can get an anime just give us the vending machine isekai already |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
| Isekai keeps on giving, that girl is a red herring though, |
 |
| Eh, the pig actually looked cute in the first pic, but then the cuteness disappears after seeing it full body. |
 |
| Some dudes overacting as if japan never made wtf tier shit all the time |
| This is definitely something new. Also why did ya call this isekai, it's just reincarnation, not only he doesn't change worlds, but he doesn't even change timelines. That's 100% not isekai. |
| bruh |

| She lookin' kinda cute tho. Imma try it lol. |
 |
| Well, this is certainly unique, but i'll have to pass, i can already tell by the name and synopsis alone i won't like it, there's probably running jokes about eating pigs too, so no thanks!!!

Kinofhera said: So happy to see this gets animated! Finally we have a non-generic and unique isekai too! If you didn't read the LN, it’s really a case of “don’t judge a book by its cover”. It’s not as fluffy and cutesy as you see from the artwork… All the more reason not watch it then for me, the last thing i need to see is pig gore. |
