On Thursday, June 1, 2023, the anime streaming platform HIDIVE announced that it will begin streaming the English dub for the Farming Life in Another World anime later this month. The series serves as the television anime adaptation of the light novel series of the same name by author Kinosuke Naito and illustrator Yasumo.
The Farming Life in Another World novel series was first published on December 29, 2016, under Shosetsuka ni Naro with no illustrations. A light novel series began serialization roughly a year later under Kadokawa’s Enterbrain imprint, which is when Yasumo signed on to begin providing illustrations for the series.
There’s also a Farming Life in Another World manga series published in Fujimi Shobo’s Monthly Dragon Age magazine, first starting serialization in November 2017. With so many offerings for Naito’s series already available, it’s heartening to see that the television anime adaptation is receiving similar treatment.

The reason behind such an extensive cast list is due to the fact that the series’ first season has already finished airing. Likewise, HIDIVE and the adaptation team needed to cast roles for the entirety of the first season’s characters. The series premiered on the AT-X channel on January 6, 2023, running for 12 episodes in total. HIDIVE streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
Farming Life in Another World follows protagonist Hiraku, who dies of a serious illness but is sent back to live in another world. Sent to a fantasy world of his choice and bestowed with the almighty “farming tool” to enjoy his second chance at life to the fullest, the series follows Hiraku as he uses the tool to grow crops and truly enjoy his new laidback farming lifestyle.
