Crunchyroll to Stream The Eternal Fool's Words of Wisdom Anime in India

Crunchyroll announced on Monday that it will stream the anime adaptation of Hifumi's The Eternal Fool's Words of Wisdom (Yūkyū no Gusha Asley no, Kenja no Susume) light novel series in the Indian subcontinent. The company also announced that it will stream the television anime of Toshiaki Iwashiro's Psyren manga worldwide excluding Japan and China.

The Eternal Fool's Words of Wisdom will debut in January 2027. J-Novel Club is releasing the novels' manga adaptation under the title The Eternal Fool's Words of Wisdom: A Pawsitively Fantastic Adventure, and it describes the story:

A couple thousand years of solitude would wear down any young man—that is, anyone except Asley, an eternally youthful and eternally foolish sorcerer. After all, he has man's best friend...er, familiar, to keep him company. When his Level 100 canine companion Pochi demands that he get some fresh air for the first time in two centuries, Asley sets out to reintegrate into society and test his magic mettle. His mission? Dropping several unglamorous titles from his repertoire and restoring his good (okay, decent) name.

A brand-new world and fresh adventures awaits Asley after his many years of hermitage. Perhaps he'll lend Pochi a hand to place first in the mysterious Familiar Feud. Or maybe he'll lose all vestiges of dignity and turn tail. Whichever comes first! No matter what, Asley has great evil to fight, a big world to save, and even a little growing up to do...that is, if he can endure Pochi's "friendly advice" along the way!

The anime will star Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Asley, and Yōko Hikasa as Pochi.

Keisuke Ōnishi (The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest) is directing the series at Studio Elle. Kurasumi Sunayama (Dr. Stone: Science Future, Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World) is in charge of the series scripts, and Yumiko Mizuno (The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest) is designing the characters. Yuri Habuka (Maebashi Witches, Sushi and Beyond) is composing the music at Lantis.
