The Frontier Works panel at Anime Expo screened a teaser promo for the television anime adaptation of Y.A's Hachi-nan tte, Sore wa Nai deshou! (The 8th son? Are you kidding me?) light novel on Saturday, revealing the main staff members. The series is scheduled for a 2020 broadcast.

Tatsuo Miura (Okusama wa Mahou Shoujo episode director) is helming the anime, with Takeshi Miyamoto (Namu Amida Butsu!: Rendai Utena script) in charge of series composition. Kenji Tanabe (Caligula) is designing the characters. Shin-Ei Animation and SynergySP are co-producing the series.

Y.A launched the action fantasy novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in June 2013 and ended it on March 2017. Kadokawa began publishing the series with illustrations by Choko Fuji (R.O.D Rehabilitation) in April 2014. The 17th volumes will go on sale on July 25. The light novel has a cumulative 1.8 million copies of its volumes in print.

Hiroki Kusumoto began serializing a manga adaptation on Kadokawa's ComicWalker website in April 2015. The sixth volume was published earlier this year on January 21.
