They keep adding more and more interesting alternatives to the travel the other world genre...you have to admit when has a fantasy series ever focused on a series where the heroes actually want to go back to earth where they came from? you have to admit, this will be an interesting alternative to this type of series.

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as the MC. Who wants to make a bet?

LOVE IT! It is a good counterpoint to the ever-increasing "Yay, new world. I rulzzz" concept. Kinda like Hataraku Maō-sama!, where the ultra-strong protag needs to adjust to everyday live Laughing

And ZEXCS as the animating studio? They've been rather low-key for quite some time now. Good to see them getting interesting projects.

So like a cross between Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero and Gamma?

So it's like Hagure Yuusha, but with less boobs.

Consider me interested.

This particular spin on the concept is an intriguingly different one, and I'm officially looking forward to it.

More so than Haguure Yuusha it reminds me of the work where the demon princess comes to work for the hero at a store, but is basically use at everything because she is the demon princess.

I was thinking Hagure Yuusha and Yuushibu together. It has Hagure Yuusha's concept and Yuushibu's story.

I still say Gamma. The whole 'retired hero acting as a councilor for other heroes (but can't seem to get away from the life)' seems to be lifted from there, though with differences from the Hagure Yuusha mash-up.

Like the sound of this. I do wonder, will the anime turn out to be shorts or 20 minute episodes? What are the other anime under the BOX-AiR program? This is the first time I've heard of that...

The three previous titles chosen for adaptation under the BOX-AiR label -- Aruvu Rezuru - Kikai Jikake no Yōsei-tachi, Mitsuwano, and Kurage no Shokudō -- were all 1-episode, 25-minutes OVAs.

Ah, so this may not even be a series. With what the story is, kind of hoped that it would be a tv series.
