Directed by Tetsuo Hirakawa at Zero-G and Saber Works, the anime is set to bring to life the enchanting tale of Tama, a knight reincarnated as a formidable Behemoth, who appears deceptively as a small housecat. As Tama strives to mature into his powers, he forms an unexpected bond with Aria, an adventurous elf who becomes his steadfast companion in a world brimming with magic and danger.

The stellar cast announcements have added depth to the project's anticipation. Tasuku Hatanaka takes on the role of Tama, supported by Hinaki Yano as Aria, and Riho Sugiyama voicing Tama's adorable feline form. Joining them are newly introduced cast members Tomori Kusunoki as Vulcan, the dedicated blacksmith of the Tiger Ear tribe, and Hitomi Ueda as Stella, a spirited girl who shares in Tama and Aria's adventures.

Behind the scenes, Kanichi Katō oversees the series scripts, ensuring a narrative that seamlessly blends action, comedy, and heartfelt moments. Tomoyuki Abe's meticulous character designs and animation direction promise to vividly capture each character's growth and personality throughout the series.

"I'm a Behemoth" originally captivated readers on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō platform before Micro Magazine brought it to print. The manga adaptation, illustrated by Tarō Shinonome and Yanomitsuki, has also garnered a dedicated following since its debut.

Set to premiere in 2025, this anime adaptation is poised to delight fans of fantasy and isekai genres alike. With its immersive world-building, endearing characters, and promise of epic adventures, "I'm a Behemoth" stands out as a highly anticipated addition to the anime landscape. Stay tuned for more updates as the journey into a world of knights, monsters, and magic unfolds in unexpected and thrilling ways.
