The wraparound band on the seventh volume of Rurekuchie's Kaiko sareta Ankoku Heishi (30-dai) no Slow na Second Life (The Slow Second Life of a Dismissed Dark Soldier (Age 30)) manga—adapting Rokujuuyon Okazawa's comedy fantasy light novel—announced a television anime on Wednesday (pictured right). The anime series will premiere in January 2023.

Okazawa began writing the series on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in November 2018. Kodansha began publishing the title under its K Lanobe Books label in August 2019, featuring illustrations by Sage Joh. The third volume shipped in March 2020.

Rurekuchie began serializing the manga in Young Magazine the 3rd in August 2019. Kodansha published the sixth volume on March 18. The light novel and manga has sold a cumulative 1 million copies combined.

Synopsis
The dark soldier, Dariel (30 years old), who can't use magic despite being in the Demon Lord's army, was fired for his lack of capacity. Having been raised by the previous Demon Lord himself, he finds that his adoptive brother, the new Demon Lord, has little use for him. However, after rescuing a village girl from a forest monster, Dariel is invited into her village and starts realizing that he may be considerably more powerful than what he thought...

Synopsis attracted me. Waiting for a PV.

I find it quite funny that people criticize this for mediocrity, but are happy to generic fantasy in another thread.

I read the novel/manga. It's a basic but cute little story that satisfies the basic points: dense hero, hot chicks with big chests, fantasy, villain/hero interplay, fights.

The anime adaptation will be of a similar make, simplistic but enjoyable enough. At least I hope the show crew doesn't mess it up.

Yet another one? This plot on average is worse than average isekai.

I followed light novel news more closely than anime and I have never heard of this LN~

There are a lot of demon lords in light novels recently~

Not a fan of things like demon lords~

The synopsis doesn't really say much. But yeah seems boring.

Pretty much. It becomes the same tired song halfway through.

Fascinating how they use age introduction in the title, as if it's merely a sentence, not a title.

I don't know why but the inclusion of brackets in the title is the most annoying part of this. Not that it's another pointless sort-of-Isekai, not that the premise is three basic tropes stapled together, but that brackets are in the title. It's just so lazy, so awkward, like they couldn't even be bothered to make it a proper sentence.

It's almost impressive how this medium keeps finding new ways to be absolutely infuriating.

Great! I planned to read the manga, now I will watch the series. Good 2023 for anime!

Let me guess he'll become an apothecary of that village and later on will have a sweet girl from his brother's army persuading him to get back, which he'll deny of course.

We have an abundance of similar shows recently, so this doesn't seem particular interesting.
But there is never too much of Settling Down in Fantasy anime.
