A key visual for the upcoming My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s TV anime has been released.
It was also announced that a preview screening event will take place on September 6 JST.
My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s is set to begin airing in October. It is based on the Overlap Bunko series written by Matsuri Akai and illustrated by Tozai, which debuted in November 2017 and has four volumes as of 2021. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the premise as:
Oda Akira is the kind of guy who people forget is even there. His unassuming nature pays off, though, when his entire class is swept away to a fantasy world, and he slips easily into his new role as a silent assassin. Between his suspiciously high starting stats and too many details that don’t fit, Akira is sure something is wrong. But digging into royal secrets is a dangerous game, and when Akira uncovers an evil scheme, he also makes a powerful enemy—the very king who brought him to this world! With the help of the elven spirit medium Amelia, can he find the power to set things right, and get his revenge?
The light novels have inspired a manga adaptation. My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s started as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel in January 2017.
