The anime adaptation of "Kyouran Reijou Nia Liston: Byoujaku Reijou ni Tensei shita Kamigoroshi no Bujin no Karei naru Musouroku" has announced three additional voice actors. Taku Yashiro takes on the role of Anzel, Youko Hikasa voices Fressa, and Satoshi Hino lends his voice to Gandolph Logen. New character visuals for the three characters were also released.
Anzel is a hired bodyguard from the underworld who has great confidence in handling magical weapons and, on orders from his client, seeks a fight against Nia. Taku Yashiro describes him as a cold-blooded, sober-minded chain smoker and explained that he initially portrayed the character deliberately without a strongly defined goal: Against the backdrop of an origin where merely surviving until the next day was life-threatening, a life without further aspirations seemed fitting to him. At the same time, he tried to capture the mindset of people who grew up in the underground world of the work.
Fressa is an assassin who relies on weapons hidden in her body and also works as a waitress at the tavern "Usuakari no Kagenezumi-tei." Youko Hikasa sees the appeal of the series mainly in the contrasts of the heroine: Within the delicate body of a young noblewoman resides the spirit of a warrior, which repeatedly creates an intriguing contradiction in visuals and dialogue. She described her character as sharp-witted and adaptable, who seeks to conceal her true abilities and longs for peace, but is inwardly bored by the stillness – "in a way, a great actress."
Gandolph Logen is a muscular, serious martial artist who serves as deputy instructor of the Tenpa school at the dojo of the Altwar Academy, teaching his students and enjoying high esteem for his skill. Satoshi Hino, who lends him his voice, praised the character as a diligent fighter who instructs children in martial arts while also radiating warmth and straightforwardness.
The story follows a hero who once defeated a god and wished for nothing more than to meet a worthy opponent. After his death, he awakens in the body of the sickly noblewoman Nia Liston and throws himself into battles in his second life: between academy daily life, appearances as a talent in the magic image industry, and the search for strong adversaries.
The source material comes from Umikaze Minamino and was first published as a web novel on the platform "Shousetsuka ni Narou" from May 2019 to January 2021.
