When his only ally, his grandpa, passes away, he is left with a huge inheritance. Can a simple inheritance solve all his social and personal issues, though? Turns out, a magical inheritance really can change your life.

‘I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World,’ the light novel series by Miku and Rein Kuwashima, has been greenlit for an anime adaptation. You can check out the latest promotional video for the anime right here:

【TVアニメ化決定記念】『異世界でチート能力を手にした俺は、現実世界をも無双する ~レベルアップは人生を変えた~』スペシャルPV #いせれべ
[Commemorating the decision to make a TV animation] “I, who got a cheat ability in a different world, is unrivaled in the real world-Leveling up changed my life-” Special PV#Iserebe

The video looks more like a game trailer than an anime one. Setting that aside, it explains how Yuuya opened a mysterious door at his grandpa’s house and got transported to a mysterious world.

Now, this has got to be the coolest grandpa on Earth to keep isekai gateways and magic weapons in his basement. Thanks to him, Yuuya not only gets an awesome new world to live in but also a brand-new body in perfect condition. (Don’t we all just wish for this miracle?)

Several new visuals and illustrations have been revealed to commemorate the announcement of the anime, and you can check them all out here:
