My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s Receives TV Anime

By Josh PiedraFebruary 18, 2025

It was announced that Matsuri Akai and Tozai’s light novel series, My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s, will be receiving a television anime adaptation! The anime is slated to premiere this October!

My Status as an Assassin

The staff for the show have been announced as follows:

Staff

  • Director: Nobuyoshi Habara
  • Composition: Kunihiko Okada
  • Character Design: Hirona Okada, Kaoru Saito
  • Composer: Satoshi Igarashi
  • Monster Designer: Rihiro Yamane
  • Main Animator: Mitsuru Ishihara
  • Studio: Sunrise

Seven Seas licenses  My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s and describes it as follows:

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?

Lastly, a promotional trailer was released that you can check out below:
