It has been revealed that Nekoko's light novel "Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling," which was born from the novel posting site "Shosetsuka ni Naro," will be adapted into a TV anime. The main cast has also been announced, with Shunichi Toki playing the protagonist Ilcia, who is reincarnated in another world, Ami Koshimizu playing the voice of the god who guides the protagonist, and Miku Ito playing the main heroine Millia. A visual of Ilcia cracking the egg and jumping out with force has also been released.
The story depicts the adventures of the protagonist, Ilcia, who is reincarnated as a dragon egg. A light novel has been published by Earth Star Novel (Earth Star), and the comic adaptation has also become popular.
Toki said, "Even those of you who are unfamiliar with this work can probably guess what kind of story it is from the title, but the more you read the story, the more you want to know what happens next. Ilcia's 'growth' in many ways and the characters surrounding her make the story more fascinating and mysterious. I will do my best to express the charm of the original work to the fullest, so I hope you will enjoy it!"
Koshimizu commented, "Of course the story development is fascinating, but personally I'm looking forward to seeing how the main character changes and the monsters will be portrayed in the anime! I'm also excited to see what colors the special plants will be. I think the main character in this work will be reincarnated into a hard mode life, but I hope he will become stronger♪."
Ito said, "As I read the original work, my heart was excited as I watched the main character, Ilcia, grow stronger and stronger, and as I watched the exciting battle scenes. I am really looking forward to seeing what kind of action we'll see in the anime. The character I play, Millia, is brave, kind-hearted, and a straightforward girl in everything she does. I hope to play the role to the best of my ability and with an honest heart. I hope everyone will also pay attention to the dialogue between Ilcia and Millia!"
An event for the film will be held on March 22nd at the Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures booth at AnimeJapan 2025, which will be held at Tokyo Big Sight (Koto-ku, Tokyo). Toki and Ito will be on stage.
