The premiere date for the anime adaptation of the light novel series "Megami 'Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai desu ka' Ore 'Yūsha no Rokkotsu de'" (Goddess: 'What kind of other world do you want to be reborn into?' Me: 'As a hero's rib') has been set: The series will air starting April 7, 2026, in the "AnichU" programming block on Nippon TV. Simultaneously, the streaming services dAnime Store and ABEMA will begin releasing the episodes.
Accompanying this announcement, a detailed trailer (Main PV) was released, offering a first deep look into the series' unconventional style. The video combines traditional anime sequences with live-action footage, puppet theater elements, illustrations by comedian Cookie!, and the likeness of comedian Takahiro Ogata (from Panther). In addition to the voices of the main characters – Atsushi Abe as the protagonist "Me" and M.A.O as the "Goddess" – the trailer features excerpts from the opening theme "Tensei Ganbō" by the band Shukatsu Club and the ending song "Nan nan desu ka?" by shallm. The accompanying key visual shows the smiling hero in front of a collage of his numerous bizarre rebirths, while the Goddess stands beside him with her usual expressionless look.
Regarding the ending theme music, Lia from shallm commented: "The title 'Nan nan desu ka?' (roughly: 'What on earth is this?') came to me while reading the source material, as many twists and turns evoke exactly that exclamation. I imagined writing the song from the perspective of the Goddess, observing the hero's antics from a certain distance. I hope I've captured the warm-hearted relationship between the two in it."
As part of AnimeJapan 2026, taking place from March 28 at the Tokyo Big Sight venue, two stage events are planned. Atsushi Abe and Tomoko Kaneda are expected at the dAnime Store booth, while at the joint booth of Nippon TV and VAP, Abe, Kaneda, and M.A.O will appear. Additionally, a giveaway has been launched via the official social media channels, offering prizes such as signed posters and scripts.
