“Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan” anime premieres in January 2025 with new key visual and additional speaking roles

The TV adaptation of the manga Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan by Michirou Ueyama will air in January 2025. The newly released key visual features Grace=Kenzaburou alongside Anna Doll and other students of the Royal Magic Academy. The promo video offers a glimpse of the animations, accompanied by a monologue from Grace=Kenzaburou.

The series tells the story of 52-year-old office worker Kenzaburou, who is reincarnated as Grace, the antagonist of the otome game Magical Academy Love & Beast. While Grace=Kenzaburou tries to play the role of the villainous noblewoman, his caring personality and humble lifestyle—combined with the ability "Elegant Cheat" (which automatically transforms his actions into graceful gestures)—leads to unexpected admiration from those around him. Kenzaburou is voiced by Kazuhiko Inoue, while M.A.O plays the role of Grace.

Newly announced voice actors include Akio Otsuka as Leopold Auvergne, Grace's father and the kingdom's finance minister; Yuu Shinohara as Josette, a beastkin maid-in-training serving the Auvergne household; and Yuki Kuwahara as Francette Mercure, a first-year student in the academy's theater club known for her extensive knowledge of theater.

Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan is scheduled to premiere in January 2025.
