From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated! is set to hit screens on January 9. We’ve got a fresh look at the series thanks to its second promo video, which previews the show’s newly revealed opening theme song.
The song is called “Choose!!!” and it’s by the band Cider Girl, probably best known ‘round these parts for “Cinderella,” the opening of Komi Can’t Communicate. The song starts at 0:57 into the preview.
Also revealed today were two cast additions: Tomoyo Kurosawa as Hinako Tondabayashi and Takako Honda as Mitsuko Tondabayashi, daughter and mother of the titular dad, respectively.
The manga by Michiro Ueyama, which is also known as Akuyaku Reijo Tensei Oji-san, follows 52-year-old Kenzaboro Tondabayashi, who ends up being reincarnated in an otome game-style world as a villainess daughter named Grace. Tetsuya Takeuchi directs, with Shingo Irie on series composition, Haruka Matsunae on character designs, Yuki Miyamoto on monster designs and Ryo Hirata on prop designs. Natsumi Tabuchi, Misaki Tsuchida, Tsugumi Tanaka, Reiko Abe and Kaho Sawada are composing the music for the Ajia-do Animation Works production.
The From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated! manga has been running in Shonen Gahosha’s Young King Ours GH seinen manga magazine since March 2020, and the anime will stream on HIDIVE as it airs.
