An official website opened with the announcement that Yuri Kitayama and Riv's Seirei Gensouki - Spirit Chronicles light novels are getting a TV anime adaptation. They've revealed the cast and staff, a teaser trailer, and a visual, but not the premiere date.
J-Novel Club is releasing both the novels and Futago Minaduki's manga adaptation, and describes the story as:
Meet Rio: a callous orphaned boy living in the slums. At only 7-years-old, he realizes he's actually the reincarnation of Haruto Amakawa, a Japanese university student with a tragic past. While still reeling from this shocking epiphany, Rio also comes to learn that he possesses extremely potent magical abilities and uses his new powers to solve the kidnapping case of a little girl. His good deed is acknowledged, and he's rewarded by being enrolled into… a prestigious academy for noble children...?
