The Too Many Losing Heroines anime ran for a total 12 episodes from July to September 2024. Shoitaro Kitamura directed it at studio A-1 Pictures, with Tetsuya Kawakami as the character designer and Masahiro Yokotani on the series composition. Crunchyroll streams the anime, with the main voice cast consisting of:
- Hikaru Tono as Anna Yanami
- Shion Wakayama as Lemon Yakishio
- Momoka Terasawa as Chika Komari
- Shuichiro Umeda as Kazuhiko Nukumizu
The story follows Kazuhiko Nukumizu, a highschool student who is (un)fortunate to meet numerous adorable ‘losing heroines’ and witnesses their rejections. Although he tries to stay out of it, he never really succeeds and this leads to some very interesting relationships and developments.
