The I’m a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic trailer gives us a quick look at protagonist Liam Hamilton, as well as several other characters, and an introduction into his new world. (watch below)
The voice actors announced to the cast so far are four heavy hitters in the voice acting world.
They are Ayumu Murase (Tristan in The Seven Deadly Sins) who is playing Liam, Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki in Gintama) who is voicing Radon, Haruka Tomatsu (Hori in Horimiya) as Asuna, and Saori Hayami (Yor in Spy x Family) as Jodi.
Cute character illustrations for all four main characters were also released.
The anime is being directed by Kenichi Ishikura (Sakura Trick), with Tatsuya Takahashi (Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon) in charge of series composition and scripts, and Midori Otsuka (Aru Asa Dummy Head Mic ni Natteita Ore-kun no Jinsei) designing the anime’s characters.
Both Studio DEEN and Marvy Jack are in charge of anime production.
I’m a Noble on the Brink of Ruin is based on the light novel series of the same name written by Nazuna Miki and illustrated by Kabocha.
That novel series, and its manga adaptation, which is illustrated by Rio Akisaki are available in English with J-Novel Club.
They explain the beginnings of the plot like this:
Liam Hamilton is not who you think. On the surface Liam is the son of a failing noble family, but on the inside…he’s actually a lowly peasant?!
One night he’s a miserable middle-aged commoner chugging cold beers at the local tavern and the next day he suddenly wakes up as the youngest son of a noble count?! Make it make sense!
Liam Hamilton has no idea how he ended up this way, but he does know one thing for certain: as a noble he can finally try learning magic like he’s always dreamed of! Too bad the noble house he’s been reborn into is on the verge of collapse–that is–unless they prove themselves worthy of high society.
When Liam discovers he has a natural affinity for magic, can he save his doomed house or will he go back to being just another lowly commoner?
