Another Hobby Japan title is on track for an anime adaptation with the light novel series Seirei Gensouki. We learned about this adaptation back in November 2020 and we’ve had a couple of updates since then. Now, the official site has updated with a new promo that you can see below and a really appealing key visual for it. The show has been set for a July 2021 premiere.

The anime adaptation has set Osamu Yamasaki to direct it based on the series scripts they’ll work on along with Mitsutaka Hirota, Megumu Sasano, and Yoshiko Nakamura. Kyoko Yufu is handling the character design adaptation while TMS Entertainment and Wao World are handling the production.

The opening theme song is “New story” from Marika Kōno while Aguri Ōnishi performs the ending theme song “Elder flower.”

The property comes from writer Yuri Kitayama and artist Riv which began in 2014 and has a manga adaptation out there by Futago Minaduki as well. J-Novel Club previously picked up both the light novels and manga for release.

Check out the official site and Twitter.

Plot Concept: Meet Rio: a callous orphaned boy living in the slums. At only 7-years-old, he realizes he’s actually the reincarnation of Haruto Amakawa, a Japanese university student with a tragic past. While still reeling from this shocking epiphany, Rio also comes to learn that he possesses extremely potent magical abilities and uses his new powers to solve the kidnapping case of a little girl. His good deed is acknowledged, and he’s rewarded by being enrolled into… a prestigious academy for noble children…?
