It's not
every day that you are reincarnated in another world, and even less so as a
dragon egg that must start its life from scratch. The first details of
the Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling anime, based on
Nekoko's light novel with illustrations by Naji Yanagida, have been revealed
today, along with the teaser trailer, key image, and its planned release in
2026.
Creative
team and production behind it
The anime
will be directed by Yuta Takemura (known for his work on
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), with Nobuyoshi Arai as assistant
director, under the GA-CREW and FelixFilm studios.
The series is composed by Tatsuhiko Urahata (Haganai), the
monster design by Hiroyasu Oda, and the character design by Masato
Onoda. The sound direction is by Tsuyoshi Takahashi, while the
music will be composed by Ko Otani (Shakugan no Shana), with
production at IMAGINE.
A story
of growth and overcoming
Seven
Seas Entertainment publishes
the official English version of both the light novels and the RIO manga, and
describes the plot like this: Our protagonist wakes up one day in a new world,
but his new life does not include combat skills, magical powers, or even arms
or legs. Reincarnated as a helpless egg trapped in an unknown forest and
surrounded by hungry beasts, he must strive to become the most powerful dragon,
without letting his fragile shell stop him.
