The TV anime "Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (Proud)!" (Japanese: "Hiroin? Seijo? Iie, Ōru Wākusu Meido desu (Hokori)!") has a concrete start date: The series will air in July 2026 on channels including TOKYO MX and BS Fuji. At the same time, another voice actress has been announced: Yōko Hikasa. She will portray Annemarie Victilium, who appears as the rival of Prince Christopher in the original otome game. A new teaser PV now lets us hear the character voices for the first time.

Hikasa commented on her role: "Annemarie is the reincarnated Asakura Anna, who knew the game 'The Silver Saint and the Five Vows' in detail. Normally she acts refined and reserved, but in Christopher's presence she suddenly speaks like Anna – the shifts between Anna's inner monologues and Annemarie's composed sentences came rapidly, and I always had to clearly distinguish between the two. I really liked Melody's sincere, serious, and sometimes quirky nature; you just want to support her. Furthermore, there are exciting developments in store that the game scenario doesn't foresee – I'm looking forward to the broadcast!"

At the center of the story is Melody, who was supposed to save an otome game world as a heroine and saint, but instead puts all her abilities into household service and becomes the perfect "All-Works Maid." Because the saint is missing, the plot goes completely off the rails.

The new teaser PV shows other colorful characters besides Melody. The main roles are voiced by Yume Miyamoto (Melody Wave), Rumi Okubo (Luciana Ruttleberg), and Kōhei Amasaki (Christopher von Théoras). Direction is handled by Naoya Murakawa under the overall supervision of Shinji Ishihira; animation production is by EMT Squared.

The anime is based on the light novel series by Atekichi with illustrations by Yukiko, which has been published by TO Books since 2020 and originated on the platform "Shōsetsuka ni Narō."

On March 29, 2026, a stage event was held at the d-Anime Store area of AnimeJapan 2026 featuring Yume Miyamoto and Kōhei Amasaki, where further details about the series were presented.
