When I reviewed The Fake Alchemist last month I mentioned the series had been picked up for an anime - given the very adult themes the series touches on it'll be interesting to see how those are handled, but a first trailer had dropped and we can see a glimpse of how the show is shaping up - characters from volumes 1 and 2 are shown, the magical effects look lovely and they've captured Nora's sly look perfectly.
Synopsis:
As an indie hit that became a legendary sensation, surpassing 1 million copies in its commercial edition in Japan, this new monumental “isekai” finally gets a TV adaptation!
In the city-state of Orichalconia, a world where alchemy and magic are deeply rooted in the lives of the people, the reincarnated Paracelsus ekes out a living as an alchemist while hiding his “cheat skills”.
However, his life changes dramatically one day after he enters into a contract with a shaman slave-girl, Nora, and later meets Coco, an elf who has lost all four limbs and five senses.
To save Coco, what began as a rescue attempt in a small workshop gradually escalates into a battle involving alchemy and sorcery, space and even the gods themselves— The curtain now rises on this story, filled to the brim with “everything fantasy”!
