Once more, the animation is being made by SILVER LINK. Yoshinori Shizuma’s original character designs are once again being animated by Kazuyuki Yamayoshi (Chaos;Child). Again, the writing for the series will be handled by Jin Tanaka (Laid-Back Camp). Keiji Inai returns to write the soundtrack, while Ryousuke Naya is back as the sound director.

The first season of the anime debuted in July 2020. As the anime aired in Japan, Crunchyroll streamed it.

The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History’s Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Attends School with His Descendants (Ma Gakuin no Futekigsha “Shij” Saiky no Ma no Shiso, Tensei Shite Shison-tachi no Gakk e Kay), a series of light novels by Shu, is the inspiration for the anime.

In April 2017, Shu released the book series on the Shsetsu ni Nar website.
