The 8th son? Are you kidding me? Anime to be released on April 2020

Hachinantte Sore wa Nai Deshō!

Shingo Ichinomiya is a normal, average employee for a trading company. He wakes up one day to find himself inhabiting the body of Wendelin — a five-year-old boy, and the eighth son of a destitute noble family in a fantasy world.

The anime will premiere on April 2 on Tokyo MX, BS11, AT-X, and J:TV. The show will also stream on AbemaTV and d Anime Store.

Tatsuo Miura is directing the series at Shinei Animation.

The novel series is also inspiring a game adaptation. In the game, players will take the role of "another adventurer" who travels alongside Wendelin and the others. The game will have an original story by Y.A. that will be "synchronized" with the television anime's story. The game is slated for iOS and Android devices this year.
