Megami "Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai Desu ka" Ore "Yūsha no Rokkotsu de" Novels Get April TV Anime

Antai's Megami "Isekai Tensei Nani ni Naritai Desu ka" Ore "Yūsha no Rokkotsu de" (Goddess: "What Do You Want to Turn Into When You're Reincarnated in Another World?" Me: "Into a Hero's Rib") light novel series is inspiring a television anime which will premiere in April.

The fantasy story is set in an alternate world where one can choose the form in which one is reincarnated — but choices like the "demon king" or the "hero with cheat skills in a harem" are so popular that one would have to wait in line for one to 50 thousand years. So, our protagonist chooses to be reincarnated over and over again into other bizarre forms, such as the rib of a hero with cheat skills in a harem story's happy ending, a hermit crab, or a vegetable.

The cast includes:

• Atsushi Abe as the protagonist "I"
• M.A.O as Goddess
• Daisuke Namikawa as Benizake Shishō ("Master Sockeye Salmon")
• Toshihiko Seki as Tanaka-san
• Show Hayami as God of Creation
