It has been announced that the TV anime "The Unfortunate Job of the Appraiser is Actually the Strongest," based on a popular novel from the novel posting site "Let's Become a Novelist," will begin airing in January 2025. It has also been announced that Toya Kikunosuke will play the main character, Ain, along with Tono Hikaru as Yuri, Suzushiro Sayumi as Ursula, and Serizawa Yu as Pina.
Toya commented, "Ain has a lot of 'unfortunate' things happen to him, and just watching him makes you feel sorry for him, but he's working really hard to not give up!!! Really!!!!!! I'm putting my whole heart and soul into my performance so that I don't lose to Ain, so please look forward to the anime broadcast!!!"
Tono said, "I will do my best to portray the kind-hearted spirit Yuri, who quietly helps people, as he meets the main character, Ain, and his increasingly expressive expressions become more and more adorable in the anime! I hope that many people will enjoy the appraiser's refreshing and unrivaled abilities."
Suzuyo commented, "When I auditioned, Ursula was the character I had the least idea what kind of voice she would have. I will do my best to convey the charm of Ursula, who is like a mother to Yuri, and is both beautiful and strong, in the anime! I hope you will all enjoy "Appraisal."" Serizawa said, "It was really fun to play Pina! I especially love the mean face she makes when she teases and provokes her older sister Yuri! In the anime, I hope to show her charm with more expression and freedom. I hope you will enjoy it!" The story is about Ein, an "appraiser," which is said to be one of the most unfortunate professions given by the goddess at birth. He is treated badly even within his party, but when he meets Yuri, the spirit of the World Tree, the gears of fate begin to move..." The light novel is published by K Ranobe Books (Kodansha), and the comic adaptation on the web manga service "Magapoke" (Kodansha) is gaining popularity.
