The greatest assassin on Earth knew only how to live as a tool for his employers—until they stopped letting him live. Reborn by the grace of a goddess into a world of swords and sorcery, he’s offered a chance to do things differently this time around, but there’s a catch…He has to eliminate a super-powerful hero who will bring about the end of the world unless he is stopped. Now known as Lugh Tuatha Dé, the master assassin certainly has his hands full, particularly because of all the beautiful girls who constantly surround him. Lugh may have been an incomparable killer, but how will he fare against foes with powerful magic?
The first season of the anime was directed by Masafumi Tamura (The Misfit of Demon King Academy) with Katsuhiko Takayama (Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department) as series composer and Eri Osada (Ensemble Stars) as character designer. Silver Link and Palette co-produced.
The cast includes Kenji Akabane as Lugh, Reina Ueda as Dia, Yuuki Takada as Tart, and Shino Shimoji as Māha.
The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat first began life as a web novel on Shousetsuka ni Narou in 2018 before becoming a light novel series. There is also a manga adaptation by Hamao Sumeragi.
