Crunchyroll Streams Psyren, The Eternal Fool's Words of Wisdom Anime
Crunchyroll will stream Psyren worldwide excluding Japan and China.
The anime will premiere in October.
REMOW describes the anime:
One day, high schooler Ageha Yoshina picks up a mysterious “red phone card” left behind in a public telephone booth.
A few days later, his childhood friend and classmate, Sakurako Amamiya—who possessed the same card—suddenly vanishes without a trace. In search of her, Ageha finds himself drawn into the rumors surrounding a nationwide string of mysterious disappearances, said to be the work of a secret organization known only as “Psyren.” When he accesses the group, a deadly game begins—one that will change his fate forever.
The anime will star Rikuya Yasuda as Ageha Yoshina and Mayuko Kazama as Sakurako Amamiya.
Other cast members include:
- Shunsuke Takeuchi as Hiryu Asaga, a high school student the same age as Ageha Yoshina and Sakurako Amamiya.
- Sōma Saitō as Oboro Mochizuki, a popular actor who, despite his friendly appearance, recklessly pursues the thrill of life.
- Yukihiro Nozuyama as Kabuto Kirisaki, a carefree troublemaker who loves money and girls.

The series 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.
