Katagai Shin (Re: Stage! Dream Days) is directing the anime at Yumeta Company studio. The anime will star:
- Satou Tajuya as Rick Gladiator

The anime is based on Kishima Kiraku’s light novel series, which was initially published on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website. The story was later acquired by Hobby Japan, which published the first novel with illustrations by Tea under their HJ Novels imprint in December 2018. The latest book, number 13, was published in January 2024.
The story follows Rick Gladiator, a guild clerk who strives to become an adventurer. Common sense says it is best to start the path of an adventurer at a young age, as it takes training to gain magical powers. However, Rick is starting after he turns 30. Thanks to working with Orichalcum Fist, a legendary party of the most powerful adventurers in the land, he already lived an unimaginable life with top-ranking fighting abilities. With skills honed by literal “Monster-class” masters from dragons to vampires, Rick takes on one elite adventurer after another.
