Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon Receives TV Anime

By Josh PiedraNovember 16, 2024

It was announced that Shisui Meikyou and tef’s light novel series Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends and Am Out For Revenge on My Former Party Members and the World has received a TV anime adaptation.

Does something with a title like that truly need a synopsis? Oh well, have one anyway…

When Light is kicked out of the Concord of the Tribes, his former comrades instantly turn on him. Light escapes this diabolical act of betrayal by the skin of his teeth…only to find himself in the deepest part of the Abyss, the most dangerous dungeon in the realm! To avoid being eaten by carnivorous monsters, he uses the Unlimited Gacha, his sole magical skill. But where it previously only produced junk items, this time Mei—a gorgeous Level 9999 fighter in a maid outfit—springs forth! Fast forward three years and Light has carved out his own kingdom in this backwater dungeon, summoning more beautiful Level 9999 warriors who swear absolute fealty to him. Now a powerful Level 9999 Overlord himself, Light plans to ascend to the surface and take revenge on his betrayers one by one!

A promotional video for… that paragraph of an anime… has been released which you can check out below:

No other details about the premiere date or cast/staff have been announced as of yet.
