She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man (anime)

She Professed Herself Pupil of the Wise Man (賢者の弟子を名乗る賢者, Kenja no Deshi wo Nanoru Kenja) is a Japanese anime series based on the light novel of the same name by Hirotsugu Ryusen and Fuzichoco. Directed by Keitarou Motonaga at Studio A-CAT, the anime was set to premier in 2021, but was delayed and premiered in January 2022.

Plot
Sakimori Kagami has woken up in the world of Arch Earth Online, a VRMMORPG he's been playing intensely for a long time. The catch? He made some adjustments to his character when he last logged on, which he thought he hadn't saved. Instead of his normal avatar of an old, bearded sorcerer, he's in the body of a young woman! Now he must convince the people of this world that he–she–is a pupil of the wise man who vanished without a trace thirty years ago.

Staff
Broadcasting on TOKYO MX and others from January 2022  .

Annotation

 * 1) ^ It is used for greetings on web bulletin boards, etc. because Mira looks in the mirror or something that reflects herself and mutters "I'm cute".
 * 2) ^ During the 30 years of the work, some people claim to be the disciples of the missing nine wise men, but it seems that they were "fake self-proclaimed" except for Mira.
 * 3) ^ It takes more than 2 hours even if it is 10,000 times, so it takes more than 20 hours if it is 100,000 times.
