Based on the original light novel series of the same name, Sentai has also confirmed they now hold the rights to upcoming TV anime I’ve Somehow Gotten Stronger When I Improved My Farm-Related Skills (農民関連のスキルばっか上げてたら何故か強くなった), set to premiere internationally on Sentai’s HIDIVE anime service in the upcoming Fall 2022 anime season.
The series is animated by Studio A-CAT (Frame Arms Girl, Getter Robo Arc, Battle Game in 5 Seconds). It is directed by Norihiko Nagahama (episode director for Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Trigun, Cardcaptor Sakura) with series composition from Touko Machida (scriptwriter for Space Brothers, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! 2). Takuro Iga (Tsuki ga Kirei, Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits, Aria the Avvenire) composed the series’ musical score.
While there is no word on any planned English dub yet, we do know a bit about the lead Japanese voice cast, which includes Junya Enoki (Jujutsu Kaisen, Dorohedoro, TONIKAWA: Over the Moon For You) as Al Wayne, Minami Tanaka (Kakegurui, Hanayamata, Zombieland Saga) as Fal Ys Meigis, Rumi Okubo (Place to Place, Death Parade, Talentless Nana) as Helen Lean and Ayaka Suwa (The Fruit of Grisaia, Tanaka-kun is Always Listless, Riddle Story of Devil) as Ruri.
As with many of Sentai’s other anime acquisitions, while available via HIDIVE initially, the streams are planned to be followed up with a home video release.
About I’ve Somehow Gotten Stronger When I Improved My Farm-Related Skills
Al Wayne loves farming — and we don’t mean the video game sim. He wants to be a literal farmer, but in the process of improving his agriculture skills, he somehow winds up maxing out his overall character stats! He’s superpowered in the most unexpected of ways with abilities even the strongest of heroes would envy. Alas, all he wants is an idyllic farmer’s life, but with demons and monsters invading the realm, Al may have to take up the mantle of hero just to keep his dreams from withering away!
