Ansatsu Kizoku, the upcoming fall anime, will pitch the assassin protagonist against the hero of an isekai world. After a delayed release, the anime is finally ready to grace us with a superb series that might just shake up the isekai genre for good.

The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in a Different World as an Aristocrat anime will premiere on October 6, 2021. The new trailer released gives us a glimpse into the protagonist’s past.

Killed by the ones he served, the new trailer shows the master assassin in his element. His spirit then comes face to face with a deity who gives him another assassination task.

The mission will be the hardest he has ever undertaken as this time, he needs to kill the hero of a magical world. Reincarnated as Lugh Tuatha De, he now has added skills, wealth, and social status that will make him the ultimate assassin to have ever existed. 

Yui Ninomiya’s opening theme for the anime, “Dark Seeks Light,” is previewed in the trailer and compliments it perfectly. The ending theme is “A Promise” by Aira Yuki.
