It has been announced that Miyako Shinju's light novel "Yusha Party wo Oidasareta Kiyobinbo" will be adapted into a TV anime. The main cast was also announced, and it was revealed that Takeo Otsuka will play the main character Orun Dula, Hina Tachibana will play the role of Sofia Claudel, and Saori Onishi will play the role of Selma Claudel.
The story is about Orun, the ultimate jack of all trades, master of none, who was expelled from the hero party by his childhood friend Oliver for lack of ability, but pushes on to become the strongest all-rounder in order to protect his precious friends. The book has been published by K Ranobe Books (Kodansha), and the comic adaptation has also become popular. The series has sold over 3.8 million copies in total.
The anime will be directed by Hiroyuki Kobe, with series composition by Masashi Suzuki and character design by Naoto Nakamura. It will be produced by animation studio 42.
Author Miyakogami Itsuki commented, "I never thought the day would come when my work would be made into an anime, and as I write this comment, it's finally starting to sink in. I owe it all to Kisaragi Yuri-sensei, who drew the illustrations for the original novel, Yonezou-sensei, who was in charge of the comic adaptation, and above all, all the readers who have supported me. Thank you so much. I can't wait to see how Orn and the others will move around in the anime and how the story will unfold!"
A teaser visual and special trailer have been released, featuring the main characters Orun, Sofia, and Sofia's older sister Selma.
