Funimation has described the anime:
The story follows a 34-year-old man who is killed after trying to save someone from getting hit by a car. He soon finds himself reincarnated in a magical world as Rudeus Greyrat, except that he gets his whole life reset, starting as a baby. With all of his knowledge from his previous life, and a new heaping helping of magical ability, Rudeus quickly becomes a formidable warrior ready for adventure. Oh, and he's still a total pervert.
Manabu Okamoto (Gamers!) directed the television anime of Rifujin na Magonote's Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation light novel series at Studio Bind. EGG FIRM is also credited for production. Kazutaka Sugiyama (animation director for DARLING in the FRANXX) designed the characters. Yuiko Ōhara produced, wrote, scores, and sang both the opening theme song and the ending theme song.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both the light novel series and Yuka Fujikawa's manga adaptation. The company also licensed Shōko Iwami's Mushoku Tensei: Roxy Gets Serious (Mushoku Tensei: Roxy Datte Honki desu) spinoff manga.
Kadokawa published the first volume of the light novel series with illustrations by Shirotaka in April 2014. Fujikawa's manga adaptation began in Kadokawa's Comic Flapper magazine in October 2014. The novels ranked at #8 on the 2019 Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! tankōbon list. The novels and manga have a combined print total of 2.2 million copies in Japan as of October 2018.
"The appointment of new captain Shusuke Amagai leaves the members of Squad Three with mixed feelings, especially about the tasks he assigns. Will he be able to win their trust, and will the squad recover from its previous captain's betrayal? Meanwhile, a suspicious trio transfers to Ichigo's school in the World of the Living - and then Ichigo is thrust into a new battle as he encounters a group of assassins out to kill one of them."
