Alexia Midgar: Kana Hanazawa (Rewrite)  Iris Midgar: Youko Hikasa (Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou)  Kazuya Nakanishi (Comic Girls assistant director) is helming the comedy fantasy series at animation studio Nexus (Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry). Kanichi Katou (Mashiro no Oto) is handling the series composition and Makoto Iino (Tatoeba Last Dungeon Mae no Mura no Shounen ga Joban no Machi de Kurasu Youna Monogatari) is designing the characters. Aizawa launched the novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in May 2018. Kadokawa began printing the title under its Enterbrain label in November that year, featuring illustrations by Touzai. The fourth volume shipped on February 26. Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! has a cumulative 1.5 million copies of its volume in circulation.

| More HanaKana and Youko Hikasa nice. |
 |
| Visuals look pretty good so far and very good VA`s for the girls but idk about Cid(VA) though, hope he does a good job for the VA. |
| Damn Kana Hanazawa as Alexia, this will be fun lol |
| looks good .... maybee |
| Hana Kana decided to buy a bigger TV? Why did she start appearing on every second show? |
 |
| Nice to see big names like Kana Hanazawa & Youko Hikasa, hope Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma & Epsilon will also have good VA's Just hope Studio Nexus will give this amazing LN justice |
| "When There Is Evil In This World That Justice Cannot Defeat, Would You Taint Your Hands With Evil To Defeat Evil? Or Would You Remain Steadfast And Righteous Even If It Means Surrendering To Evil?" |
| Can't wait to see who will be the VA of Claire 😂 |
| "When There Is Evil In This World That Justice Cannot Defeat, Would You Taint Your Hands With Evil To Defeat Evil? Or Would You Remain Steadfast And Righteous Even If It Means Surrendering To Evil?" |
| God damn it, I was reading synopsis thinking premise sounds interesting enough to check it out, but it turns out it's another damn isekai. Are LN/manga authors so completely creatively bankrupt to blight every damn idea with isekai... |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
I think cid kagenou's character visual looks a little weird. Nah this is better.  |
| HanaKana doing a rude tsundere, Youko surprisingly not doing a haremette, even being a hot girl in a harem show (at least to the point I read, her char does not join Cid Harem or think that way about him). Okay, still wanna see Alpha, Beta and Rose seiyuus. And a longer PV, to get more tranquil about the production. |
| FGO NA Code: 482.072.599 (F2P thug life of savings...) Ben-to! best nonsensical action anime. Ever. |
| I am so excited to watch this given what I learned in the previous thread lol But also my waifu HanaKana is in this too <3 |
