Crunchyroll has announced that the TV anime adaptation of Miku and U35's Shinka no Mi ~Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei~ (The Fruit of Evolution ~Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made~) light novel series will be joining their Fall 2021 Season Lineup.
Shinka no Mi ~Shiranai Uchi ni Kachigumi Jinsei~ follows Seiichi Hiiragi, an unfortunate young man who is despised by his classmates because they consider him homely, chubby, and smelly. Seiichi's luck goes from bad to worse when his class is transported to another world, but he finds himself alone in the wilderness and pursued by an amorous female gorilla named Saria. The disastrous lives of the unlikely pair take a positive turn after they ingest the legendary "fruit of evolution", and an unexpected transformation takes place...
Yoshino Nanjō will be performing the opening theme song titled, "Evolution:" and Poppin' Party will be performing the ending theme song titled, "Moonlight Walk."
