[Original author congratulatory comment arrived! ]

■Mr. Hiroaki Nagashima (original)
This is an anime adaptation that combines the best aspects of the book and comic versions.
Even now, I feel like I can’t express my gratitude enough to everyone who was involved in the production.
Please take a look at Doran’s voices, colors, breathing, and movements.
The Dorans you know will be showing you new sides that you may not know.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone who has read this so far and everyone who was involved in the production.
thank you.

■Mr. Kisuke Ichimaru (original illustration)
Congratulations on the anime!
Mr. Nagashima’s charming story is finally here!
We hope that your wonderful works will reach even more people.
Thank you very much for your support for the book version as well as the anime and comic version by Kurono Sensei!

■Kurono Sensei (manga)
Congratulations on the anime!
I can’t help but look forward to it! The enthusiasm of the anime staff is real!
Even I, who was in charge of the manga, asked me a lot of questions about the character design and direction of the comic version.
Enthusiasm to take in everything. Professionals are amazing. They are people I can respect.
Oh, by the way, I was also invited to watch the dubbing, but in the end I couldn’t go.
Because I can’t look the other person in the eye and talk to them. sorry. sorry.

[Main cast and staff information released! ]

■Shunsuke Takeuchi (role of Doran)

Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I feel like I have a lot of opportunities to play the role of a dragon well, so I thought to myself, “Is this the dragon this year?” as I prepared for the project.
The daily life of the village of Bern, where various races live hand in hand, is depicted beautifully and realistically, which is appealing. Also, Selina is just so hard-working and cute, so I think this is a very beautiful work!
Although Doran has been reincarnated, he is an ordinary young man in life.
He strives every time to create a cheerful atmosphere while keeping his awesomeness hidden within himself.
I’m sure that if you come into contact with this work, you will realize the charm of the village and the richness of life that is born from various cultures!
Please take a look!

■ Hitomi Sekine (role of Selina)

My name is Hitomi Sekine and I played Serina.
Serina is a kind-hearted, caring, and adorable girl!
From the time of her audition, she felt that she was very attracted to Selina’s natural loveliness, so she is having fun recording it so that she can fully convey it to everyone.
The bond she has with her friends, including Doran-san, warms my heart, and watching her stand up against her enemies is a must-see!
Please look forward to the broadcast!

■Director Kenichi Nishida
A huge towering dragon… Medieval-style idyllic landscape…
You thought, “Ah, another reincarnation into another world…”! I wouldn’t like it if someone licked me.
If you keep watching, you’ll definitely be able to keep your eyes peeled for the rapid developments that unfold with each episode.
Where on earth is this story trying to take us?
By the time you see Akatsuki to the end, you’ll feel like you’re standing in a completely different place than you imagined at the beginning.
By the way, the story will develop greatly in episodes 5 and 10, but episode 10 in particular has a sudden development at the very end, so don’t miss it!

■Naokatsu Tsuda (series composition)
Doran, the reincarnation of the strongest ancient dragon, and Selina, a beautiful lamia girl with a human head and snake body.
They are strong, cute, hard-working, natural, energetic, and full of charm.
I approached the script while worrying about how to convey the fun and overflowing charm of the original work to everyone.
How will Doran change after meeting Selina? What does the reincarnation of God think and worry about? Do you want to have a normal love life? I wonder how lamia interacts with humans? I’m sure your imagination will expand.
Please look forward to the main story! All the answers are in the main anime.
Ah, but it might be a good idea to study the original work first (advertisement).

■Nozomi Kawashige (main character design)
My name is Kawashige and I mainly designed humanoid characters.
Were the people at the top sane when they were first appointed? I had my doubts, but we had many meetings to discuss whether it was possible or not, and in the blink of an eye, the announcement date for the anime version arrived.
I would like to depict the peaceful life of the dragon Doran who was reincarnated as a human, the lamia Selina who leaves her hometown and travels, and the people who live in this world. Thank you for your support.

■Tatsuhiko Saiki (music)
When I was told about this work, I read the comic version, and from the first page I was drawn into the worldview and story.
The former legendary dragon Doran, the lamia Selina, the beautiful swordsman Christina…all the characters are charming, and I was able to create a lot of music inspired by their individual personalities and their deepening bonds. I’m really looking forward to the broadcast!

■Hanaju Nakamura (music)
When I read this work for the first time, I was impressed by Doran’s point of view, who used to live in Ryusei, and his wise way of looking at things.As he is the main character, the story unfolds in various ways, but there is a sense of simplicity and grounding. I felt that there was a certain atmosphere.
For the music, I used ethnic instruments and other instruments to give it an indigenous feel, while also creating music that was large in scale and sometimes even cute, so I hope it will be an element that will accompany the work and be enjoyed by everyone who watches it.

■ “Goodbye Ryusei, hello life”
<Introduction>
One day, the oldest divine dragon was killed by humans.
The dragon, who lived for eternity and possessed immense power that even the gods bowed down to, accepted his death with solitude.
However, the next thing he knew, Ryu had taken on a second life as Doran, a villager on the frontier.
As a human, he has a much shorter life than a dragon, and he devotes himself to working in the fields and hunting animals for food…
The simple yet warm life in the village fills Doran’s heart with a small joy that he could not experience in Ryusei.
However, one day, when Doran goes out to investigate the swamp, a half-snake lamia named Selina appears before him.
She is traveling in search of her mate, and even though she is a lamia, she is not good at seducing humans.
Humans and monsters, two people who are incompatible, but gradually begin to connect with each other.
However, various foreign enemies appear in front of the two…!?
A fantasy about the “rebirth” of the former strongest and oldest dragon, starting from the frontier!
