Multi-Mind Mayhem premieres January 6, 2027, with a second key visual, PV and Takehito Koyasu in the cast

I have a soft spot for isekai stories that try something a little different, and Multi-Mind Mayhem (Isekai Tensei Soudouki) has one of the stranger setups out there: one noble boy, Bardo, carrying three souls at once. Alongside his own, there is Oka Sanai, a money-loving Sengoku warlord who once served the Uesugi clan, and Oka Masaharu, a modern high schooler with a serious thing for animal ears. Now the TV anime finally has a date.

When and where

According to the official site, the series starts on Wednesday, January 6, 2027:

• TOKYO MX: Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m. from January 6
• BS Fuji: Wednesdays at midnight from January 6
• AT-X: Fridays at 8:30 p.m. from January 8

In Japan, d Anime Store, ABEMA and U-NEXT get the show one week ahead of TV, with episodes 1 and 2 both dropping at 10:30 p.m. on January 6. Nothing has been said yet about streaming outside Japan.

New visual, new trailer, new voices

The second key visual stacks all three personalities on one poster, with Bardo's sword in front, the snarling warlord above him and the grinning otaku in a suit to the side. The new PV also gives us a first listen to the theme songs: Maverick Mom's "Isekai" opens the show and Sora Tokino's "Brand new day" closes it.

Six more names joined the cast, and the big one for me is Takehito Koyasu as Ignis. He is joined by Marina Inoue (Maggot), Toshiki Kumagai (Brooks), Ari Ozawa (Teresa), Kohei Yanagi (William) and Yuki Sakakihara (Franco). Yusuke Kobayashi leads as Bardo.

The team

Hiroaki Sakurai, the director of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., is directing at Studio Deen, so I am expecting the comedy timing to be sharp. Keiichiro Ochi handles series composition and RYOSHI TAKAGI writes the music. Ryosen Takami's novels come from AlphaPolis, and the 15th manga volume arrives on December 14.

The full broadcast details are on the official site, and the series page is on anime.day.
