My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s, the upcoming anime adaptation of the light novels by Matsuri Akai, is set for screens this October.
Now we’ve got a new look at the series thanks to a fresh trailer that previews the opening song, “Issen” by VESPERBELL.
We’ve also got some new cast announcements, which are as follows:
Sanae Kobayashi as Yoru
Konomi Tamura as Lia Lagoon
Junichi Suwabe as Saran Mithray
Takeo Otsuka is in the lead as Akira Oda alongside Saku Mizuno as Amelia Rosequartz. Nobuyoshi Habara (Fafner) is director, with Kunihiko Okada (Yowamushi Pedal) on series composition and Hirona Okada (Gundam Build Metaverse) handling character designs for the Sunrise production.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes both the original My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s novels and the manga and sums up the story like this:
Oda Akira is the kind of guy who people forget is even there. His unassuming nature pays off, though, when his entire class is swept away to a fantasy world, and he slips easily into his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously high starting stats and too many details that don’t fit, Akira is sure something is wrong. But digging into royal secrets is a dangerous game, and when Akira uncovers an evil scheme, he also makes a powerful enemy—the very king who brought him to this world! With the help of the elven spirit medium Amelia, can he find the power to set things right, and get his revenge?
