Synthesized from 6 Yomimono stories · updated 3d ago

The television anime adaptation of Ezogingitune and DeeCHA's light novel series I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand premiered on July 6, 2026, after a delay from its original April date. The delay was intended to improve the final product. The anime is directed by Hiroyuki Kanbe at studio Gekkō, with series scripts by Mitsutaka Hirota and character designs by Majiro. Gakuto Kajiwara voices protagonist Luck, alongside Toshiyuki Morikawa, Tsuyoshi Koyama, Yui Ishikawa, and others. The opening theme song is performed by rock band sajou no hana, and the ending theme song is performed by rock-idol girl group MEISHOHIKOKAI.

The first episode follows S-rank mage Luck as he emerges from a decade-long battle against the Demon King and finds the world has moved on without him, forcing him to start over as an F-rank adventurer. An Anime Feminist review called the premiere engaging, praising its character-driven take on displacement rather than a power fantasy. The anime debuted on Amazon Prime Video on July 3, followed by a wider release on ABEMA, d Anime Store, and television channels including Tokyo MX, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV, TV Aichi, and BS11 on July 6, with an AT-X debut on July 9.

Additional casting was announced leading up to the premiere. Miharu Hanai voices Charlotte and Suzuna Kinoshita voices Mary, the daughters of Erik. Chō was later cast as Gerberga, a chicken worshipped as divine by Luccira's family, who debuted in the third episode. The novel and manga series combined have over 4.45 million copies in circulation.
