Yūsha no Rokkotsu TV Anime Announces New Cast Member, Opening Song

The official website for the television anime of 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 opened on Tuesday. The website announced another cast member and the opening theme song "Tensei Ganbō" by rock band Shukatsu Club for the anime. Takahiro Ogata of the comedy trio Panther voices voice the hero Jiyōku in the series. The website also presented a new teaser visual drawn by comedian and creator Cookie!, who will also be in charge of the anime's opening sequence.  

The anime 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
