The television anime of Satoru Yamaguchi and Nami Hidaka's My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (Otome Game no Hametsu Flag Shika Nai Akuyaku Reijō ni Tensei Shiteshimatta...) light novels premieres on July 2 in the Super Animeism block of MBS and TBS, and on July 9 in BS Asahi.

The second season features a largely returning staff, with the exception of Susumu Matsunaga as the new prop designer, new 3D director Yuki Kuribayashi, and Nichion as the new credit for music production. Junko Nakajima, Sayaka Aoki, and Kanade Sakuma also join the first season's composers.

Music duo angela returns to perform the opening theme song "Andante ni Koi o Shite!" (Fall in Love at Andante!), while Shouta Aoi also returns to perform the ending theme song "give me ♡ me."

J-Novel Club is digitally publishing the novels, and it describes the story:

After hitting her head particularly hard one day, Duke Claes' daughter, Katarina, suddenly recalls all the memories of her past life: that of a teenage Japanese girl. Just before her untimely death, this girl recalls playing an otome game... that is exactly like the world she's living in now!

She is now Katarina Claes, the antagonist of the otome game, who nastily hounded the protagonist until the end. Knowing all the possible outcomes of the game, she realizes that every single possible route ends with Katarina being murdered or exiled! In order to avoid these Catastrophic Bad Ends, she has to use her knowledge of the game and her own wiles, starting with breaking off this engagement with the prince...

Will Katarina survive while making her way through this world, where bad flags trip at every turn? Find out in this reverse-harem rom-com, led by everybody's favorite villainess!

Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing both the novels and the novels' manga adaptation in English. The company describes the novel series' story:

Corporate drone Reiji is transported to a fantasy world, where he discovers that he can craft potions at a higher level than his rank should allow. Taking advantage of this, Reiji makes a tidy profit--enough to open his own drugstore. An elf who can't aim his bow? Give him some eye drops! A dragon who accidentally breathes fire? Cough syrup! Reiji's new relaxing life of making medicine for fantasy creatures is about to begin!

The television anime of author Nachi Kio and illustrator Eretto's Boku-tachi no Remake (Remake Our Life!) premieres on July 3 on the Tokyo MX, BS Kyoto, BS NTV, and Sun TV channels; on July 6 on Hokkaido TV and Shizuoka Broadcasting System; and on July 7 on AT-X.

Kōsuke Kawamura is designing the characters, and Eretto is credited for the original character designs. Front Wing is producing the series.

The story centers on the unsuccessful game director Kyōya Hashiba. His company goes bankrupt, and he ends up returning to his parents' home. He lies in bed thinking about the successful creators of his generation. When he opens his eyes, Kyōya finds that he has gone back in time 10 years to when he started college. He has an opportunity to remake his life, starting as an arts college student. He now lives in a four-person coed share house. Kyōya has the chance to spend his formative years with creators he knows will be famous in the future, but things might not turn out as he expected.
