The upcoming The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess TV anime has received its third trailer, which accompanied the reveal of its October 8 JST (effectively October 9 at 12 AM JST) premiere date.
It was also announced that the opening song is “Black Flame” from KID PHENOMENON from EXILE TRIBE, while the ending song is “Regene” by Zerofrom. Character visuals were released as well.
The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess is based on the manga by Akiharu Touka, which debuted in Hakusensha’s LaLa in 2018 and has 16 volumes as of May 2025. Yen Press describes the premise as:
Konoha Satou has a dark history. After all, she spent her teen years writing self-indulgent fantasy romance fics-like her Dark History. But since she’s become its most despicable villainess, remembering every last detail is now a matter of life-and-death. Having avoided the first couple of death flags, Satou’s suddenly left in the dark when a mysterious stranger returns from the Lily Kingdom-a character she doesn’t recall writing in the original script. Although Yomi claims to be her ally, can Satou really trust a character she knows nothing about in such a dangerous world?
