It has been announced that the TV anime "The Strongest Man from Misfortune," based on a popular light novel from the novel submission site "Shosetsuka ni Naro," will air in 2027. Along with the tagline "Stand up and fight—", a teaser visual has been released showing the protagonist Siegbert and his hated brother Gert clashing fiercely.
It was also announced that voice actor and singer Shoya Chiba will be in charge of the theme song, "Luck Out." Chiba wrote the lyrics for the song and commented, "I am very honored to be in charge of the theme song. After reading the original work, I felt that it was a very kind story full of love for those close to you. When you think that you are 'unlucky' or 'unfortunate,' you lose sight of the individuality and strengths that you should have. I aimed to create a song that would give you strength, so that you can even embrace your own predicament and enjoy it. I would be happy if you would pay attention to the lyrics that I put such feelings into. It's a really cool song that gets more and more exciting towards the end, so please enjoy it!"
