The anime’s second season was announced in March of this year. Manabu Okamoto directed the first season, which was animated by Studio Bind. The season aired in two parts during the Winter 2021 and Fall 2021 seasons, totaling 23 episodes. Earlier this year, an OVA episode centered on Eris was released.
The anime is based on Rifujin na Magonote’s light novel, which Shirotaka illustrated. A manga adaptation is in the works, as are two spin-offs: Mushoku Tensei: Roxy Gets Serious and the recently released Eris spin-off. Seven Seas is publishing the light novel in English, and the plot is as follows:
Kicked out by his family and wandering the streets, an unemployed 34-year-old shut-in thinks he’s hit rock-bottom—just as he’s hit and killed by a speeding truck! Awakening to find himself reborn as an infant in a world of swords and sorcery, but with the memories of his first life intact, Rudeus Greyrat is determined not to repeat his past mistakes. He’s going to make the most of this reincarnation as he sets off on the adventure of a second lifetime!
