On August 12, 2026, the production team of the TV anime "Tsuihō sareta Chīto Fuyo Majutsushi wa Kimama na Second Life o Ōka Suru. ~Ore wa Buki dake ja Naku, Arayuru Mono ni ‚Kyōka Point' o Fuyo Dekiru shi, Ore no Ishi de Itsudemo Kōka o Kaijo Dekiru kedo, Nokotta Hitotachi Daijōbu?~" – short "Chi Fuyo" – released a new action PV. The clip shows protagonist Rain Garland and his companions facing the feared Phosphorescent Dragon in an impregnable dungeon. The series starts in October 2026 on Japanese television via the TV Tokyo network; the English title is "The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage Enjoys a Second Lease on Life."
At the center of the video is the battle against the dragon described as the "strongest enemy": S-rank adventurer Lily, the skilled adventurer Margaret, Mirabel, trained as an assassin by her mother, and Rain, who masters "enhancement magic." The group pushes their powers to the limit; Rain's ability to grant "enhancement points" to weapons and other things and cancel them at will turns the tide of the decisive battle. The clip was produced by P.A.WORKS, which also serves as the animation studio for the series.
The main roles are voiced by Daiki Yamashita (Rain Garland), Lynn (Lily Flammbel), Yoshino Aoyama (Margaret Els), Miu Tomita (Mirabel), Megumi Han (Elsie Zora), Konomi Kohara (Nina), Nobuhiko Okamoto (Hanbun), Makoto Furukawa (Cornelius), and Rie Shibata as the "mother of assassins." Direction is handled by Osamu Honma, known for "Paripi Koumei" and "Mayonaka Punch." Series composition is by Yoko Yonaiyama; character design and chief animation direction are by Yuito Kiyosawa, while Masami Goda is responsible for gag and side character design as well as chief animation direction.
The source material is the manga by author Asa Rokushima and artist Gyomu Mochi, with character drafts by kisui. The series is published by Kodansha on the online portal "Gekkan Maga Kichi"; the first volume went on sale in February 2022, and total circulation now exceeds 1.4 million copies. The story originally began as a web novel. Author Rokushima herself noted that the novel and manga versions differ by about 99 percent in content – the anime adaptation follows the manga version.
The plot begins when enhancement mage Rain is suddenly banished from his guild. Instead of despairing, he collects all the enhancement points he had previously invested in his guild colleagues' equipment and starts a new life as a freelance adventurer. Around him gather companions with heavy fates, including top adventurer Lily and Mirabel, raised as a child to be a killer. The setting is an unusual fantasy world where Uzi submachine guns, pachinko, and yakuza also exist; a central element of the setting: the more people rely on convenient technology, the more their magic wanes.
Via the official website and the anime's X channel, the project team keeps interested fans updated on further announcements until the broadcast start in October.
