Second PV and Nia Liston's Action
The Second PV Shows Both Worlds Nia Has to Live In
Nia's defining appeal comes from the contrast at the heart of the story. On the outside, she is a beautiful young noblewoman whose body had been known for its frailty. Inside that body now resides the soul of a great hero who once killed a god and who, near the end of a previous life, longed to find an opponent powerful enough to kill them in battle.
The second PV puts those two sides on screen together. Nia is shown confronting enemies with abilities far beyond what her appearance would suggest, but the footage is not built entirely around combat.
It also shows her social life, her work surrounding Magic Vision, and the personalities of the people drawn into her new circumstances.
The anime is therefore not being presented as a battle fantasy alone. Combat remains one of its major hooks, but Nia must also actually live as Nia Liston in a world filled with responsibilities that extend far beyond finding strong opponents.
Magic Vision Becomes a Major Part of Nia's Second Life
Another concept emphasized by the new PV is 魔法映像＜マジックビジョン＞, or Magic Vision.
After becoming Nia, the former warrior inherits more than a new body and family. She also becomes involved in efforts to spread Magic Vision, a form of media entertainment within the setting that brings her into several different jobs and activities.
The new footage indicates that this side of her life will receive meaningful attention in the anime. Nia is shown participating in Magic Vision-related work and interacting with characters connected to production and performance.
One of them is Bendelio, the production-floor supervisor for the Liston territory channel and a guide for the program Liston Territory Travelogue. Sharro White is connected to performance through her position as an aspiring actress in the Ice Rose troupe.
Nia's new existence consequently moves between combat, academy life, media work, and her persistent desire to eventually find truly powerful opponents.
Four New Cast Members Join the Anime
The September 8 update also expands the cast with four additional characters.
Junichi Suwabe voices Hyurence Altoire, the 14th king of Altoire. He is portrayed as a capable and commanding ruler who can appear emotionally distant in personal relationships. Hyurence supports the spread of Magic Vision and takes notice of Nia's fearlessness.
Maaya Uchida plays Sharro White, a promising young actress from the Ice Rose troupe. She finally receives her first leading role, but her intense dedication to the stage can make her overly serious and strict when dealing with Nia.
Kazuyuki Okitsu voices Asuma, a foreign swordsman and accomplished adventurer known by the title Sword Demon. He carries a blade forged by a renowned craftsman and relentlessly seeks strong opponents—an outlook that naturally puts him close to Nia's own obsession with battle.
Koichi Sakaguchi plays Bendelio, the production supervisor behind the Liston territory channel and one of the characters connecting the story directly to its Magic Vision industry.
Respawn!! Is Tsunomaki Watame's First Anime Tie-Up
The opening theme Respawn!! had already been announced, but the second PV provides the first official opportunity to hear the song within anime footage.
It is performed by hololive production VTuber Tsunomaki Watame, with Shota Horie handling the lyrics, composition, and arrangement.
Watame states on the official anime website that the song marks her first anime tie-up. Her performance was shaped around Nia's duality: a character who can look like a charming young girl in everyday life before transforming into someone exhilarated by combat.
That approach ties the opening directly to the protagonist rather than treating it simply as a separate promotional track.
The title “Respawn!!” also fits naturally with a protagonist living a second life, although the production team has not formally explained the title as a specific piece of narrative symbolism.
Two Consecutive Cours Begin October 6
The anime premieres on October 6, 2026 and is now officially confirmed to run for two consecutive cours.
TOKYO MX will broadcast the series every Tuesday at 9:25 PM JST, MBS at 27:30 JST, and BS NTV at 24:30 JST, following standard Japanese late-night schedule notation.
After broadcast, ABEMA, d Anime Store, and U-NEXT will receive advance streaming, with additional services set to add the anime later.
What remains unknown is the episode count. Two cours are often associated with a familiar range of episode totals, but the official website has not provided a number, so this article does not convert “two consecutive cours” into an estimated count.
The exact ending date of the first cour and transition schedule into the second cour also remain undetailed.
KONAMI animation Handles Production
Animation production is being handled by KONAMI animation, with Motoki Nakanishi directing and Hita Segi serving as assistant director.
Juokuemon Ichikawa is responsible for series composition, while Yuki Ito and Kana Tosaoka provide the anime character designs.
Other major staff include Naoki Endo on music, Hiromi Kikuta as sound director, Hiroshi Goroku as art director, Takashi Ode as director of photography, and Masayuki Kurosawa on editing.
The promotional footage places significant attention on Nia's mobility and force in combat. That matches comments from several cast members who have highlighted the sharp gap between Nia's small, elegant appearance and the much more brutal way she fights.
Translating that contrast into motion is one of the adaptation's central challenges: the anime has to make the strength and battle-driven madness described in the novels and manga visible through animation itself.
Why This Matters
1) Two cours provide more room for both halves of the story
Nia does not live solely for combat. Magic Vision, academy life, relationships, and media work all need space alongside the action.
2) The PV directly embraces Nia's defining contrast
The same footage shows both the charming noble girl and the former god-slayer who still craves dangerous battles.
3) The new cast expands the world beyond Nia's initial circle
Hyurence, Sharro, Asuma, and Bendelio bring royal politics, stage performance, another formidable fighter, and the Magic Vision industry into the anime.
4) The opening was built around the protagonist's dual nature
Respawn!! is Tsunomaki Watame's first anime tie-up and was performed specifically with Nia's cute and ferocious sides in mind.
