The Japanese company Shogakukan today released a first teaser for the anime adaptation of “The Great Sage Riddle’s Time Reversal” (Japanese: “Daikenja Riddle no Jikan Gyakko”). You can find the video below.
Starting in April 2026
The new fantasy series “The Great Sage Riddle’s Time Reversal” is currently scheduled to start on Japanese television on April 1, 2026. Each episode will have a running time of around five minutes. A simulcast has not yet been confirmed.
The main roles of the Japanese voice cast include Junya Enoki (Shiro in “Reborn as a Vending Machine”) as Riddle and Azusa Tadokoro (Chloe Aubert in “TenSura”) as Norn. The opening song “savage” comes from Asaka.
The “Light Anime” process is used in the production, making the series more of an “animated manga” than a classic anime. The participants and the studio are not yet known.
The original manga series of the same name by Necoco and Nikata has been published on the Seed Comics website since November 2023. Shogakukan has summarized the individual chapters in four anthologies so far.
