The entertainment company REMOW unveiled the key visual, more cast members, information on the theme song, and Anime Expo "sneak peek" for the anime of Metabo Hagure's A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even: How I Crushed My Homeland with My Mighty Grimoires (Buchigire Reijō wa Hōfuku wo Chikaimashita. ~Madōsho no Chikara de Sokoku wo Tataki Tsubushimasu~, also known as The Furious Princess Decided to Take Revenge) light novel series on Friday.

The newly announced cast members are:

Yui Ogura as Lunoa Carlton, a young girl whose talent is recognized by Elizabeth, leading her to work under her as an apprentice. She possesses the unique magic skill "Item Analysis," an ability that proves extremely valuable to merchants.

Ayumi Uehara as Misha Tail, a young catkin girl. Though not skilled in magic, she possesses exceptional physical abilities and is capable of defending herself in combat. She is brought to Elizabeth's service after being purchased from a slave trader.

Yui Ogura performs the opening theme song “Q.E.D.”, and Aguri Ōnishi performs the ending theme song “Goodbye Lullaby.”

REMOW will preview the first half of the anime's first episode at its industry panel at Anime Expo on July 4 at 12:00 p.m.

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

Elizabeth Leiston, daughter of the influential prime minister, is a picture-perfect lady on the path to becoming the future queen of the Kingdom of Haldoria. But her life takes a sudden turn for the worst when her fiancé makes a show of publicly calling off their engagement. Soon after, he throws her in jail and starts spreading nasty rumors about her.

The encouragement Elizabeth receives from her loyal waiting maid, Mireille, and her inner fury are all she needs to reconsider her goals. Why should she continue devoting herself to a country that doesn't respect her when she can trample over it instead? She will get even with those who wronged her and bring down the damned kingdom, even if it's the last thing she does! Luckily, Elizabeth is no damsel in distress and has seven powerful magic grimoires she won't hesitate to use. Get ready because this ruthless lady is out for blood!

Saori Ōnishi voices Elizabeth Leiston/Ellie Leis, a noblewoman whose engagement to the crown prince is broken. She is betrayed by the very kingdom she had devloted her entire life to, and ends up falsely imprisoned.

Naoyuki Kuzuya (Sweet Reincarnation, Saiyuki Gaiden, Wild Adapter) is directing the anime at Studio Comet, and Mitsutaka Hirota (Sweet Reincarnation, Rent-A-Girlfriend) is overseeing the series scripts. Sayaka Anezaki (Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time, Tohai: Ura Rate Mahjong Tohai Roku) is designing the characters, and Satoshi Hōno (Tales of Wedding Rings, Twilight Out of Focus) and Karin Nakano (The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom, Clockwork Planet) are composing the music.

The television anime series will premiere in July 2026. REMOW confirmed it will be handing the global licensing rights for the anime.
