Kadokawa opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Rui Tsukiyo's Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru (The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat) light novel on Monday, revealing main staff, cast, and its July 2021 debut. The cast from the drama CD are reprising their roles.

Synopsis
"I'm going to live for myself!"

The greatest assassin on Earth knew only how to live as a tool for his employers—until they stopped letting him live. Reborn by the grace of a goddess into a world of swords and sorcery, he's offered a chance to do things differently this time around, but there's a catch...He has to eliminate a super-powerful hero who will bring about the end of the world unless he is stopped.

Now known as Lugh Tuatha Dé, the master assassin certainly has his hands full, particularly because of all the beautiful girls who constantly surround him. Lugh may have been an incomparable killer, but how will he fare against foes with powerful magic? (Source: Yen Press)

Cast
Lugh: Kenji Akabane (Masou Gakuen HxH)
Dia: Reina Ueda (SSSS.Gridman)
Tarte: Yuuki Takada (Yagate Kimi ni Naru)
Maha: Shino Shimoji (Seiren)

Staff
Director: Masafumi Tamura (Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha, Kenja no Mago)
Series Composition, Script: Katsuhiko Takayama (Aldnoah.Zero, Sakurada Reset)
Character Design: Eri Osada (Blade & Soul, Ensemble Stars!)
Studio: SILVER LINK., Studio Palette

Tsukiyo began writing the action fantasy series on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in July 2018. Kadokawa began publishing the novel through its Sneaker Bunko imprint featuring illustrations by Reia in February 2019 and shipped the fifth volume on September 1 last year. The sixth volume will go on sale on February 27. The light novel has a cumulative 300,000 copies of its volumes in print.

A manga adaptation by Hamao Sumeragi has been serialized on the Young Ace UP web magazine since January 2019. Kadokawa released the second volume last July.

Yen Press licensed both the light novel and manga adaptation in English in July and August last year. The first light novel and manga volumes shipped on December 29 and February 9, respectively.

Since two of Tsukiyo Rui's works are being adapted, there's a high chance of Ork-san getting an anime too

This series is more on the normal side as compared to Kaifuku

Sorry but this is nothing like Redo of Healer. Though probably one of the most generic isekai out there

So, the Japanese just almost gave up on common fantasy, turning it all into isekai? Not that I am against it, it's just that if the idol show and the CGDCT formally have reasons to be cliché, then in the case of isekai we just see the endless repetition of the same trope.

To be honest, I've seen a lot of completely different shit in my entire anime "career", but this dude literally pushed my boundaries of insanity. I still can't believe I saw MC raping his love-hate female lead in the first episode. And after that, he gets another anime next season, LMAO.

LMAO...

NGL, as generic as this is, knowing that Silver Link's the King of generic Isekai, Redo of Healer's author getting another burst in popularity is to be expected.

On the PTW nevertheless.

Oh, I know this one. I stumbled upon it recently. Good stuff.
Same author of Redo, I see, he is a man of culture. And he had to do best genre isekai as well.
Can't wait. Especially because I know even though this is just a tame generic plot compared to Redo, I am ready to see people crying over a certain loli character and her characterization (speaking of which she will be voiced by one of my fav VAs)...:D

Ah, I've read this manga, it's quite interesting and don't worry about having the same author as Redo Healer, the MC doesn't rape at all, he is a gentleman :)

Not exactly big on isekai, but I'm sold on the fact that is written by the autor of Kaifuku alone, tho it probably won't be as crazy as that one.

At first i was like wow Silver Link collaborating. then i realized they have a history of it aside from their own sub, connect, they have worked with Nexus. When Silver Link does collaborate they tend to make higher quality anime. I hope going forward they do reach out for help because they have the direction down packed however the animation usually isn't their strong suit.

I'll give this one a try, there's no chance it will be as crapstastic as Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi, so if you hate that or were disappointed, give this one a chance to wash the crap and disappointment out of your system.

I was reading the manga for this recently, it's a decent isekai. Hope the anime turns out to be good.

I'll probably check out the light novel as soon as I'm caught up with the manga.
