Re:Monster Anime Set for April 2024 in New Trailer
An anime adaptation was announced for Kogitsune Kanekiru’s Re:Monster light novel series in September, and now a new trailer is here along with some fresh info. The series is officially set to premiere in April 2024, with Takayuki Inagaki (Birdie Wing -Golf Girls’ Story-) directing, Hiroshi Yamaguchi (To Heart) writing series composition, Junichi Takaoka (Gravion) handling character designs and Go Sakabe (Date A Live series) composing music for the Studio DEEN production.
Main cast members include Takuya Sato as Gobrou, Kenta Hosoda as Gobkichi, Ai Kakuma as Gobmi, Kana Ueda as Gobe and Mai Kanno as The Redhead. The opening theme song will be “Into the Fire,” featuring a producing collab between 2PM member Chansung and Japanese hip-hop artist AK-69 with vocals by 2AM member Lee Changmin.
Check out the new preview:
The Re:Monster light novel series first launched via the Shosetsu ni Naro website before the first volume made its way to readers in 2012. The novels feature illustrations by Yamaada, and there’s also an ongoing manga adaptation by Kobayakawa.
That manga adaptation is available in English through Seven Seas Entertainment, which describes the story like so:
Tomokui Kanata has suffered an early death, but his adventures are far from over. He is reborn into a fantastical world of swords and magic– as a lowly goblin! Not content to let this stop him, the now renamed “Rou” uses his new physical abilities and his old memories to plow ahead in a world where consuming other creatures allows him to acquire their strengths and powers.
