A television anime adaptation of Ryou Hiromatsu and Wosamu Kouzuki's Busamen Gachi Fighter (Uglymug, Epicfighter) manga was announced by Bushiroad Move on Monday. The production company also opened an official website, revealing the lead cast, animation studio, and a teaser visual (pictured).

Voice actor Junichi Suwabe (No Guns Life, Great Pretender) is starring as the protagonist Shigeru Yoshioka. White Fox, the animation studio behind Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-) and Hataraku Maou-sama! (The Devil is a Part-Timer!), is producing the anime. Egg Firm is credited for production.

Hiromatsu originally penned the series on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website between February 2015 and October 2022. Monthly Big Gangan serialized the manga with Kouzuki's artwork from November 2017 to December 2020. Square Enix published the sixth and final volume in February 2021. The Busamen Gachi Fighter SSS (Uglymug, Epicfighter SSS) sequel manga will debut in the magazine's first issue on December 25.

Kobunsha published the story in a single light novel volume under its Light Books imprint in May 2018, featuring illustrations by Akira Banpai (The New Gate).

Comkey and Square Enix's Manga UP! website and app began publishing the manga in English on February 23 this year.

Synopsis
Wrongly convicted of a crime, 34-year-old Shigeru Yoshioka loses everything, including his trust in women, and withdraws from society as an unemployed recluse.

One day, he stumbles upon a way to travel to another world. When a mysterious status screen appears on his computer, Shigeru sacrifices his looks to gain an overwhelming 100 trillion and 5,100 parameters. Now reborn as an "Absolute God," he begins his second life in another world.

Who even comes up with these stories? What would be wrong with a story about a fat reclusive guy/a failure stumbling into the wrong alley
and discovering he's a great fighter...
rather than having him select stats on a computer screen??? That setup has no dramatic hook. It's wrongheaded and makes no sense. Easy skip.

Ah so he loses everything in the real world and becomes based in the fantasy world... I would have been more interested if he lost and gained everything in the same world... fantasy or reality.

i just notice the source material is only 32 chapters total so this will be a complete anime adaptation then and 1 cour is enough too

I can’t imagine Suwabe’s voice coming out of that fat fuck if I’m being honest.

@Fail_Man_X well no idea im just agreeing with the other comment about it

Nov 19, 2024 7:35 AM by deg

@deg How does that square with the fact that it took the manga 3 years after it finished to get an official English translation?

@Piromysl but,mushoku tensei already exists lol

Mushoku Tensei is a coming of age story about utter degenerate and a scumbag trying to improve himself. It's an antithesis if anything.

The main thing is that he is not suicidal, I will not survive the second Platinum end.

@EcchiGodMamster i mean i doubt this will be popular heck doubt it will be profitable much

i don't think most anime are profitable... lol

but isekai/fantasy anime are usually "safe/riskless" so im not surprised they'd pull some shit like this, especially when they adapted both Vending Machine and the Pig one, with Vending Machine SOMEHOW getting a s2... smh...

@deg I know I disliked Accel World for how useless the MC actually was, how obviously pandering the FMC (and other female cast) was, how there was that one arc with a detestable character, how the rules for the game was poorly set up and such stuff.
If this MC has basic smarts, then at least it's going to be more watchable.

@deg

i mean... its not like theyre gonna STOP making OP MC isekai.... so why wouldn't they do this?
