Yen Press licensed both the light novels and its manga adaptation, and it describes the story:

Despite her supposed ineptitude with regular magic, Princess Anisphia defies the aristocracy's expectations by developing “magicology,” a unique magical theory based on memories from her past life. One day, she witnesses the brilliant noblewoman Euphyllia unjustly stripped of her title as the kingdom's next monarch. That's when Anisphia concocts a plan to help Euphyllia regain her good name-which somehow involves them living together and researching magic! Little do these two ladies know, however, that their chance encounter will alter not only their own futures, but those of the kingdom...and the entire world!

Shingo Tamaki (Aho Girl, Ahiru no Sora) is directing the anime at diomedéa. Wataru Watari, the writer of the My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected light novel series, is in charge of the series scripts. Naomi Ide (Riddle Story of Devil, Kan Colle, Domestic Girlfriend) is designing the characters.

UniteUp! will premiere on January 7 on Tokyo MX, Tochigi TV, Gunma TV, BS11, HTB Hokkaido TV, and MBS. Fukuoka Broadcasting and Nagoya Broadcasting Network will also air the anime.

The anime's story centers on Akira Kiyose, who sings on a video streaming site under the singer name "KIKUNOYU." One day the talent agency sMiLea Production scouts him. sMiLea is an agency founded by the retired legendary idol pair AneLa to train new budding idols. Akira then forms an idol group with Banri Naoe and Chihiro Isuzugawa, who were also scouted. Their new group, Protostar, will have their debut alongside other new idol groups with sMiLea Production: Legit and Jaxx Jaxx.

Shin'ichirō Ushijima (I want to eat your pancreas) is directing the anime at studio CloverWorks. Rino Yamazaki (Akebi's Sailor Uniform, Shadows House, Spy×Family) is overseeing the series scripts. Majiro (22/7) is designing the characters and is also the chief animation director, alongside Asami Komatsu and Yurie Hama. Yuki Hayashi (My Hero Academia, Haikyu!!) is composing the music.

The cast will perform the show's theme song "Unite up!"

Reborn to Master the Blade: From Hero-King to Extraordinary Squire will premiere in Japan on January 10 at 1:45 a.m. on the TV Tokyo channel. It will then run on the BS TV Tokyo and AT-X channels. It will stream first on the dAnime Store in Japan, and subsequently on other services in Japan.

Mitsutaka Hirota (Rent-A-Girlfriend, Edens Zero, Anime-Gataris) is in charge of series scripts. Reiichirō Ōfuji (Fairy Ranmaru bank animation director) is designing the characters, with Tomoko Miyakawa, Rion Matsuda, and Maki Fukui as sub-character designers. Ōfuji, Miyakawa, and Matsuda are also the chief animation directors, alongside Masayuki Nomoto. Kenta Higashiohji (Super Shiro, Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle) is composing the music. Fumiyuki Go is the sound director, while Emi Takanashi is credited for sound effects.

J-Novel Club licensed the light novel series, and it describes the story:

Hero-King Inglis's last wish is to live again as a warrior. Though when he awakens, he realizes he's been reborn as a girl to a noble family! Even when rejected from the knighthood, she sets out to be the most extraordinary squire there ever was.

Hayaken began serializing the original novel story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let's Be Novelists) website in March 2019. Hobby Japan's HJ Bunko imprint is publishing the novels in print with illustrations by Nagu. Moto Kuromura has been serializing a manga adaptation on Hobby Japan's Comic Fire website.

The light novel series previously inspired two mini anime shorts in November 2020.
