The TV adaptation of the light novel hit 'Koko wa Ore ni Makasete Saki ni Ike to Itte kara 10-nen ga Tattara Densetsu ni Natteita.' (short: 'Koko Ore') has received a fixed broadcast date: The anime will air on Japanese television starting July 6, 2026. At the same time, a new key visual and five additional voice actor roles were announced.
The story revolves around the S-rank mage Luck, who once saved his companions from annihilation with the words 'Leave it to me and go ahead!' and fought alone against the Demon King for ten years. After his victory, he returns to a world where he is revered as a legendary hero – but rejuvenated by the battle, he disguises himself as an F-rank adventurer named Rock. The anime is produced by Studio Gekkou, directed by Hiroyuki Kanbe, with series composition by Mitsutaka Hirota and character design by Majiro.
The main roles have already been cast: Rock is voiced by Gakuto Kajiwara, while his former companions Eric and Goran are voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa and Tsuyoshi Koyama respectively. Additional cast includes Yui Ishikawa, Mayu Sagara, M・A・O, Yurie Kozakai, Wakana Maruoka, Yuki Terui, and Akari Miyasaki.
For the newly introduced vampires who stand in Rock's way, five renowned voice actors have been enlisted: Nobuhiko Okamoto, Shinya Takahashi, Kosuke Toriumi, Satoshi Hino, and Takehito Koyasu. Which vampires they will play will be revealed at a later date. The fresh key visual shows Rock surrounded by his allies.
The original novel by Ezogingitsune (illustrations: DeeCHA) started as a web novel on 'Shosetsuka ni Narou' in 2018 and has been published as a light novel by SB Creative since 2019. The series, including the manga adaptation (drawn by Chaco Abeno, storyboard: Kitsune Tennoji), has sold over 4.45 million copies. The anime originally premiered in April 2026 but was postponed to July. The ending song is titled 'Arigatari na Nichijō to Kōun na Hibi e' ('To the Everyday and Happy Days').
