Reborn as a Space Mercenary is a completed television anime production scheduled to debut on October 4 on Tokyo MX, with Crunchyroll streaming and the main promotional video already released.
Reborn as a Space Mercenary went from a fall scheduling announcement to a fully detailed production in about ten weeks. The first concrete plans arrived in early July, when the light novel series by Ryuto and Tetsuhiro Nabeshima was confirmed for an October television premiere on Tokyo MX, Yomiuri TV, and Chukyo TV, with Crunchyroll handling streaming. FLOW was set for the opening theme, ASTERISM for the ending theme.
By mid-September the schedule firmed up. The Aniplex One Focus livestream on Saturday named October 4 as the debut date and Tokyo MX as the broadcaster, with a 9:30 p.m. JST timeslot. It also confirmed Makoto Furukawa as the lead voice and repeated the two theme bands and the Crunchyroll streaming home. The three stories agree on the date, the broadcaster and the music, and later reporting narrows the earlier three-station list to Tokyo MX as the named channel.
The October 4 date is now the fixed point. The main promotional video is out, and the production is filling in supporting cast: Saori Onishi voices Shoko and Kana Ueda voices Mei. The video previews FLOW's "Unstoppable," while ASTERISM remains on the ending theme. The coverage has moved from announcing the project to assembling its final marketing pieces, and the remaining question in the stories is not whether the series arrives but who else joins the cast.
