Production details for I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince… Season 2
The anime adaptation is being directed by Jin Tamamura (A Sister’s All You Need), with Naoki Tozuka (Meiji Gekken: 1874) in charge of scripts and series composition, and Naru Nishikori (Meiji Gekken: 1874) both designing the characters and serving as chief animation director.
Animation is being carried out by Tsumugi Akita Animation Lab (Meiji Gekken: 1874) (X account).
The anime’s plot, via its original Japanese light novel, looks like this:
I was fascinated by the magic of my opponent during a duel and lost my life – but for some reason I was reincarnated as Lloyd, the seventh prince of the Kingdom of Saloum.
Far from the right to inherit the throne, Lloyd was encouraged to live life as he pleased, so he decided to study magic, which he loved, while training his swordsmanship with his maid Sylpha.
Blessed with knowledge and talent, Lloyd’s magic improved at an incredible pace, and he was increasingly highly regarded by those around him. However, Lloyd himself was absorbed in research and experiments, following his interests.
One day, Lloyd heard that there were dangerous magic books, forbidden books, and terrifying demons sealed away in the castle’s basement, so he headed for the underground library without telling anyone. What he encountered there was just as terrifying as rumored!?
Look out for Season 2’s release in early July, while all 12 episodes of its first season are streaming on Crunchyroll if you missed them.
