Muse Asia Licenses The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen, Gene of AI Anime

Muse Asia announced on Sunday that it has licensed The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior and Gene of AI anime. It will announce distribution details for both anime at a later date.

The television anime of Tenichi and Suzunosuke's The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior (Higeki no Genkyō to naru Saikyō Gedō Last Boss Joō wa Min no tame ni Tsukushimasu.) light novel series will premiere in Japan on July 6.

Norio Nitta (Kami-sama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama) is directing the anime at OLM Team Yoshioka. Deko Akao (Pokémon: Journeys, Noragami) is in charge of series composition. Hitomi Kōno is designing the characters. Hanae Nakamura, Tatsuhiko Saiki, Kanade Sakuma, and Junko Nakajima are composing the music. ChoQMay will perform the anime's ending theme song "PRIDE."

Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing both the original light novels and the manga adaptation in English, and it describes the story:

Pride Royal Ivy is only eight years old when she realizes that she's been reincarnated, destined to become the future wicked queen and final boss of an otome game. She's got it all in this new life: razor-sharp wit, boss-tier powers, and influence over the kingdom as crown princess. Determined to sow despair and destruction across the land, she... Wait, what kind of a rotten future is that?! Princess Pride decides to drop the maniacal villainess plan and protect the male love interests instead, cheating her way to saving everyone she can! Will this final boss end up earning the adoration of her kingdom?

The television anime of Kyūri Yamada's AI no Idenshi (The Genes of AI) manga will premiere in Japan on July 7.

Yūzō Satō (Police in a Pod, Akagi, Kaiji) is directing the anime at Madhouse. Ryunosuke Kingetsu (Police in a Pod, Samurai Girls, Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!) is supervising and writing the series scripts. Kei Tsuchiya (Police in a Pod, Laidbackers) is designing the characters, and also serving as the chief animation director. Takashi Ohmama (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury) and Natsumi Tabuchi (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!) are composing the music. Aile The Shota performs the opening theme song "No Frontier." GReeeeN will perform the ending theme song "Wasurenagusa" (Forget-me-not).

The science fiction manga is set in the near future, when nearly 10% of the population are "humanoids" — human-like robotic artificial life. Humanoids are accepted as a matter of fact in society, yet they suffer from their own problems and sicknesses. The story centers on the human Hikaru Sudō, who is a doctor specializing in humanoids.
