The light novel series Megami "Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai Desu ka" Ore "Yuusha no Rokkotsu de" is officially confirmed for a television anime adaptation, set to air in Spring 2026. This announcement today revealed the first anime visual and a substantial main voice cast list.

Atsushi Abe will voice the protagonist, known only as "I." M.A.O is cast as the Goddess, while Daisuke Namikawa steps in as Benizake Shishō, the Master Sockeye Salmon. Toshihiko Seki will voice Tanaka-san, and Show Hayami is confirmed as the God of Creation.

Yasufumi Soejima (Ensemble Stars!) is directing the series at studios Qzil.la and S.o.K. Miki Matsumoto (Summer Time Rendering) is handling the final anime character designs. Zipper Sōjō is scripting the series. Original character design looks were provided by Kōpo and Kagiji Kumanomata (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle).

Author Antai originally serialized the story on Shōsetsu ni Narō starting in November 2017. Takarajimasha began publishing the print run with artwork by Mebaru in January 2021. Volume 11 hit shelves last week on January 17th.

A large roster of additional voice actors has also been confirmed for unannounced roles, including Kana Asumi, Yuka Iguchi, Marina Inoue, Yūji Ueda, Yūma Uchida, Megumi Ogata, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Tomoko Kaneda, Ayako Kawasumi, Ayana Taketatsu, Shigeru Chiba, Miina Tominaga, Kazuya Nakai, Yōko Hikasa, Nobuyuki Hiyama, Yoshikazu Hirano, Minori Fujidera, Maxwell Powers, Rica Matsumoto, Shinichirō Miki, and Ayumu Murase.

The premise follows "I," a character trapped in endless reincarnation cycles. While others seek powerful isekai forms like Demon Kings or overpowered heroes, the long wait times force him to settle for less glamorous options, such as a hermit crab or plant life.
