The official website for the television anime of Shinkoshoto's My Isekai Life: I Gained a Second Character Class and Became the Strongest Sage in the World! (Tensei Kenja no Isekai Life: Daini no Shokugyō o Ete, Sekai Saikyō ni Narimashita) light novel series posted the anime's third promotional video, premiere details, and second key visual on Sunday. The video previews the opening theme song "Mujikaku no Tensai" (Obliviously Talented) by the three-member rock band Non Stop Rabbit.

The story centers around Yūji Sano who works at a company that is harsh on its employees. After bringing some overtime work back home, he gets a message on his computer: "You have been summoned to an alternate world!" It is a game-like world, complete with status bars and skills. Yūji tames a slime monster and thus becomes a tamer. Then, he suddenly attains a second profession — sage — and awakens magical powers within himself. Yūji's alternate world adventure begins when he follows a slime, that seemingly weakest of all monsters.
The anime stars:
- Chiaki Kobayashi as Yuji
- Azumi Waki as Dryad
