Yoshimasa Hiraike is directing the anime at studio Satelight. The anime is based on Doufu Mayoi’s Black Summoner light novel series. Overlap has been serializing it with Kurogin’s illustrations since 2016, and it currently has 15 volumes available. A manga adaptation by Gin Ammo is also being published by the same publisher since 2018, and as of now, it has 11 volumes in circulation. J-Novel Club licensed the light novel series in English and describes the plot as:
Waking up in a strange new place with no memory of his past life, Kelvin learns that he’s bartered away those very memories in exchange for powerful new abilities during his recent transmigration. Heading out into a whole new world as a Summoner — with his first Follower being the very goddess who brought him over! — Kelvin begins his new life as an adventurer, and it isn’t long before he discovers his hidden disposition as a battle junkie. From the Black Knight of the Ancient Castle of Evil Spirits to the demon within the Hidden Cave of the Sage, he revels in the fight against one formidable foe after another. Join this OP adventurer in an exhilarating and epic saga as he and his allies carve their way into the annals of history!
