The key visual features the main character, Allen, alongside the newly announced characters, which include,
| Character | Staff | Other Works |

Studio DEEN and Marvy Jack are collaborating on this adaptation, and the following staff will work on it.
| Position | Staff | Other Works |
| Director | Kazuomi Koga | TenPuru |
| Script Supervisor | Rintarou Ikeda | The Seven Deadly Sins: Imperial Wrath of The Gods |
| Script Writer | Yoshiki Ōkusa | My Dear Cramer |
| Character Design | Saori Hosoda | Phantom of the Idol |
| Music Composer | Kei Haneoka | Kaguya-sama: Love is War |
While the story may initially appear intriguing, the characters fall short in holding up the plot. Their portrayal is exaggerated, and the surrounding elements are intentionally comical, which detracts from the overall quality.
Allen, in particular, does not possess any memorable characteristics, and the plot’s setting does not offer anything unique. Therefore, the anime’s success relies entirely on its progression and whether any changes are made to improve it.
