Funimation and their Japanese partners have announced that they are co-producing the TV anime adaptation of Hirotsugu Ryuusen's Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja (She professed herself the pupil of the wise man.) light novel series.
They've released the anime's main staff, the main cast member, promotional video and key visual.
She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man will stream exclusively on Funimation later this year.
Keitaro Motonaga is directing the anime at Studio A-Cat. Takamitsu Kouno is overseeing the series scripts, Kumi Horii is designing the characters, Go Sakabe is composing the music, and Yasunori Ebina is the sound director.
Funimation describes the story:
She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man follows Sakimori Kagami, a young man who's spent four years perfecting his avatar in the online VRMMORPG Arch Earth Online.
Going by the name Dunbalf, he's known across the land of this virtual world. But one night before bed, Kagami uses an in-game vanity case that's about to expire—opting to create his ideal version of a female Dunbalf avatar for fun.
Waking up, he's surprised to find that he's now in the body of the avatar he created the night before, and he'll have to work his way from the bottom up! So he's a young dude, playing an old dude, who is now playing a young girl—who is still that old dude.
Mira is described as a beautiful summoner who identifies herself as Dunbalf's pupil. And if you've been keeping up, you'll remember that she is Dunbalf, which means her abilities are the same as his. Despite her youthful appearance, she speaks like an old man.
