2022 is going to come packed full of anime with catchy premises. I’m Quitting Heroing, Studio EMT Squared’s upcoming series, is one such anime that portrays the story of a hero after he has defeated a demon.
The stories of war heroes end after the final battle, but for Leo, this is just the beginning. As the powerful protagonist is ostracized from the rest of the society, in desperation, he joins hands with the very demons he had once defeated.
I’m Quitting Heroing: Next Gig is at the Demon Queen’s Castle anime will be released in April 2022. Kadokawa has revealed a new PV that teases the tragic fate of the hero.
The trailer highlights Leo, the former hero’s pathetic situation. After becoming too strong, he had to join the same demon army that he had defeated. The demon queen, Echidna, hates his guts, and reasonably so.
The demon army has financial troubles, an unhealthy working environment, and tons of other problems. After bringing world peace, Leo’s next task is to bring peace to the demons.
Along with new characters, their cast members have also been revealed in the trailer:
Character | Cast | Other Works |
Leo Demonheart | Kensho Ono | Akutagawa (Bungo Stray Dogs) |
Echidna | Kaede Hondo | Kokoro Yotsuba (Kami-sama Minarai) |
Steiner | Shizuka Itou | Irina Jelavic (Assassination Classroom) |
Lily | Hitomi Ohwada | Charlotte (TONIKAWA) |
Mernes | Yumi Uchiyama | Mushoku Tensei (Rudeus Greyrat) |
Edvard | Tetsu Inada | Endeavor (My Hero Academia) |
Staff members of the anime include:

Chief Director | Yuu Nobuta | Faraway Paladin |

I’m Quitting Heroing seems like a reverse of The Devil is a Part-Timer! anime. The upcoming story will have some action scenes, but I can already anticipate the amount of comedy in it.
Leo will need to get used to the demons he abhors while improving their lifestyles. Will the former hero fall in love with the demon queen as the story unfolds?
