One night a 34-year-old underachiever gets run over by a bus. However, his story doesn’t end there. Reincarnated in a new world as an infant, Rudy will seize every opportunity to live the life he’s always wanted.

Armed with new friends, some freshly acquired magical abilities, and the courage to do the things he’s always dreamed of, he’s embarking on an epic adventure—with all of his past experience intact! (Synopsis from Funimation)

Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is produced by Studio Bind under the direction of Manabu Okamoto.

Studio Bind, a joint venture between studio White Fox and company Egg Firm, is established in November 2018. Both companies explained that they established the studio because a proper system for producing the series was needed.

Mushoku Tensei is also voted the best new anime of the Winter 2021 season among Anime Corner readers. The second cour is scheduled to be this July.


Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation can be streamed on Funimation, Wakanim and AnimeLab. It’s also streamed on Muse Asia and iQIYI in Southeast Asia and select areas.
