Gear up, fellow anime enjoyers, because the official website for the anime adaptation of the light novel series “I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability” has just dropped an exciting teaser trailer!
This sneak peek treats us to a blend of fresh footage featuring the anime’s characters Tao and Ren, along with scenes released in the previous November 2022 teaser.

Another day, another isekai, but are we really complaining? The announcement of yet another isekai in the making stirred up mixed feelings from the anime community. Isekai is where fantasy and reincarnation collide, and so it’s not surprising “I was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince” involves, you guessed it, fantasy and reincarnation.

Review of the Light Novel
To tell the truth, reading reviews on this series did not hype me up for this anime adaptation. It made me never want to watch it. Harsh, but it’s the truth. Yes, the main character is overpowered right from the womb, and yes, he’s into the sexy women he’s surrounded by because he likes magic more; but other than this, nothing about the light novel is entertaining.
To talk about the positives, the fight scenes are well- choreographed, and what sets these battles apart is the use of mana as radiant auras, giving the protagonist an intimidating and otherworldly presence. And unfortunately, that’s all the positives there are. As you read the chapters, your release plot lacks a lot of elements.
Now, what completely ruined the series for me was the uncomfortable adult women hitting on this 10-year-old MC. “He isn’t even drawn in a way where he looks like a teen. He is drawn specifically to look like a little boy and is like half the height of everyone else,” said a review, and after reading this, I wasn’t excited about the anime. Oh, and negative points for fan service!
