Reincarnated into…
"The Ribs of a Cheat Hero with a Harem and Happy Ending"! ?
A groundbreaking isekai reincarnation anime that defies animation conventions is born!
The setting is a world where you can freely choose your reincarnation destination.
-However, recently the number of people hoping for reincarnation has increased so much that
"The waiting time for a cheat-powered harem hero is 50,000 years!"
Even reincarnation as a "demon lord" typically involves waiting times of thousands of years.
So, the protagonist chose to be reincarnated as
"the ribs of a cheat-powered hero with a harem and a happy ending!"
Furthermore, he is reincarnated as a "hermit crab," a "vegetable," and even "explosives used to blow up happy couples,"
repeatedly!?
In addition to animation,
this is a thrilling isekai reincarnation story featuring a cold-hearted "goddess" in charge of isekai reincarnation and the protagonist "me" who keeps experiencing outrageous reincarnations!

M・A・O in Anime Japan 2026 - Day 2 Anime "My Ribdiculous Reincarnation"
From the hero's "ribs" to a "pillowcase"—reincarnated?! A report from the NTV stage event "Goddess: 'What would you want to be if you were reincarnated in another world?' Me: 'The hero's ribs'" at AJ2026, featuring Atsushi Abe, M・A・O, and Tomoko Kaneda.
On March 28, 2026, a special stage event for the spring anime "Goddess: 'What do you want to be when you're reincarnated in another world?' Me: 'The hero's rib.'" was held at the NTV stage at "AnimeJapan 2026" at Tokyo Big Sight.
The stage featured Atsushi Abe (voice of Me), M・A・O (voice of Goddess), Tomoko Kaneda, and others. We bring you a report on the event, where highlights of the anime, which incorporates live-action and stop-motion animation, and behind-the-scenes stories from the recording process were revealed!
"The more you try to summarize it, the more confusing it becomes"—a chaotic visual experience that transcends the boundaries of anime.
The stage show began to thunderous applause. From the outset, the discussion turned to the unique nature of the film, which even the cast members admitted they couldn't see the finished product of. This film is a blend of animation, live-action footage, stop-motion, and even puppetry, making it impossible to categorize within the existing genre of "anime."
When the latest PV was screened, the monitor displayed a chaotic scene of anime characters and live-action figures mixed together, with an overwhelming amount of information. The audience reacted with a mix of confusion and laughter.
After the screening, Atsushi Abe, who plays the protagonist "I," chuckled, "Even if I try to summarize and explain the plot, it just becomes more confusing (laughs)." As his words suggest, even the PV alone strongly conveys the film's unusual nature.
Furthermore, a stream of chaotic behind-the-scenes stories from the production site were revealed. These included the cast members speculating that the explosion scenes in the film might have been shot at "that quarry familiar from special effects," and the episode where the sound director suddenly announced on set, "This part will be live-action," leaving the cast bewildered but determined to adapt.
From "The Hero's Ribs" to "Pillowcases"!? An Abnormal Variety of Reincarnation Destinations
The discussion then shifted to the specific titles of each episode. In the show, the heroes are reincarnated not only into "The Hero's Ribs," but also into inanimate objects such as "Hermit Crab," "The Demon King's Castle Door (Right)," and even "The Pillowcase in the Inn Where the Protagonist of a Dungeon-themed Isekai Stays."
M・A・O picked the episode featuring "The Lock on a Treasure Chest" as a memorable one, while Tomoko Kaneda spoke about Shinichiro Miki, who co-starred in the first episode, saying, "These legendary actors were giving their all in various roles; there's never been an anime like this before!" She reflected on the energy of the set, where veteran actors were fully committed to playing surreal roles.
The stage was most excited by the interview video of Takahiro Ogata of the comedy trio Panther, who appears in live-action as the hero Jiyok. Seeing Ogata's full-throttle performance displayed on the monitor, Abe delivered a sharp retort: "This isn't anime anymore, it's a variety show! (laughs)"
Kaneda, who has known Ogata for some time, couldn't hide his excitement about this unconventional collaboration. They discussed their expectations for this completely new form of entertainment, which seems to capture the positive chaos of the set.
Finally, when asked about the highlights, M・A・O emphasized the comforting atmosphere of the goddess's room, contrasting with the chaotic main story, saying, "Amidst the different styles of each title, I'd like you to pay attention to the 'comfortable feeling of being at home'!"
This work, in which talented voice actors give their all, is an unprecedented reincarnation story that begins with a rib. "Goddess: 'What do you want to be when you're reincarnated in another world?' Me: 'The hero's rib.'" will begin airing on April 7th. Be sure to check out the unpredictable shock on air!
Goddess: "What would you like to be if you were reincarnated in another world?" Me: "A hero's rib."
