The official website for the anime adaptation of the manga 'Tensei Goblin dakedo Shitsumon Aru?' (freely translated: 'What's Wrong with Being Reborn as a Goblin?') has announced further details about the cast and musical contributions. The series will premiere in October 2026.

Among the newly added voice actors are Natsuki Hanae as Albert, the third prince who, with his ability 'Nanakorobi Yaoki,' has cornered the Demon King. Hiro Shimono lends his voice to Izuizu, a small dragon that has made an emergency landing in the Goblin Forest and whose true identity remains mysterious. Yukari Tamura voices the inscrutable figure Tenchikaibyaku, who causes damage without hesitation and subdues the Goblin village with overwhelming force. All three performers expressed their excitement about their roles and the charming portrayal of the Goblin characters.

Two notable acts are responsible for the music: The opening will be contributed by the popular vocalist Sou, who has made a name for himself through his great successes on YouTube and as an artist for anime openings such as 'Mr. Fixer' for 'ID:INVADED'. The ending comes from the four-member band Ahab, known for their blend of modern indie rock and nostalgic pop sounds.

Previously, the main cast was introduced: Kikunosuke Togai as protagonist Akira, Yoko Hiasa as Karen, Anzu Tachibana as Chloe, as well as Ginga Banjo, Sayumi Suzushiro, M·A·O, and Wakana Kuramochi in other roles. The direction is handled by Ryota Kawahara, known as an episode director for 'Dragon Ball DAIMA'. The screenplay is by Yuichiro Momose, with character design by Hiroyuki Saida. The series is produced at Studio BAKKKA.

The story follows office worker Akira Yagami, who dies while trying to save a child and is reborn as a goblin—a creature with a life expectancy of only seven days. Thanks to the ability 'Human Life 80 Years,' he can take over the skills of his dying fellow goblins and thus achieve ever greater strength. The series promises fast-paced fantasy action with wit and heart.

'Tensei Goblin dakedo Shitsumon Aru?' will air on Japanese television in October 2026. Further information on the exact broadcast times and the titles of the music pieces is expected to follow shortly.
