Production

The Day I Became a God is the third original anime series from visual novel developer Key's Jun Maeda and Na-Ga, in collaboration with Aniplex and P.A.Works, after Angel Beats! (2010) and Charlotte (2015). On April 19, 2019, P.A.Works producer Mitsuhito Tsuji expressed desire to work on a new original anime with Key and Jun Maeda.[4]

On November 26, 2019, Key teased on Twitter that it had eight projects teased for its 21st anniversary, which included the Planetarian: Snow Globe original video animation project, the Kud Wafter anime film, Maeda's Heaven Burns Red video game, an unnamed visual novel, and four secret projects.[5][6] On April 1, 2020, the Twitter account for Angel Beats! and Charlotte teased that a project in 2020 would be revealed.[7]

On May 10, 2020, Key, P.A.Works and Aniplex held a livestream on Niconico, and formally announced The Day I Became a God anime project. The livestream revealed that Jun Maeda would be credited for the original work and script, and Na-Ga with original character design, and the anime was scheduled for an October 2020 premiere.[2] P.A.Works also tweeted that the project had been in development for "a while", and the voice acting was pre-recorded.[8] On May 25, 2020, a special "prologue program" aired on Tokyo MX, revealing that Ayane Sakura would be voicing Hina, as well as revealing Charlotte director Yoshiyuki Asai would be returning as director.[1]

On July 25, 2020, a second livestream was held, revealing the first full promotional video, and also revealed additional staff and cast members, with Manabu Nii serving as character designer, and Manyo and Jun Maeda composing the series' music. The stream also teased a second promotional video being released in September 2020.[3]
