The Villager of Level 999 is joining Crunchyroll’s summer anime schedule, with the fantasy series’ release schedule from official sources having it set to begin streaming in July.
Based on the light novel series by Koneko Hoshitsuki, the anime follows Koji Kagami, a villager living in a world where people are born into fixed roles.
While the role of villager is considered the weakest of all, Koji has reached Level 999, putting him far beyond what should be possible for someone of his class.
The series comes from animation studio Brain’s Base, with the anime set to begin its Japanese broadcast on TV Tokyo and BS Fuji. Crunchyroll has also confirmed that it will stream the series internationally as part of its summer 2026 anime line-up.
Here is the release schedule for The Villager of Level 999 so far.

What time are the new The Villager of Level 999 episodes released?
Crunchyroll has not yet confirmed the exact release time for The Villager of Level 999.
However, as revealed by TV Tokyo, the Japanese TV broadcast begins at 24:00 JST on Wednesdays, which is effectively 12am Thursday in Japan.
With that, we expect the anime’s release on Crunchyroll to be ahead of time, some time on the Wednesday.
How many episodes will The Villager of Level 999 have?
The episode count for The Villager of Level 999 has not yet been officially confirmed, but we expect the season to run between 10 and 14 episodes.
That’s because new anime are usually broadcast at least one cour, which is a unit for episode counts in that range.
Nevertheless, the final number will still depend on the production’s confirmed broadcast order, and we will update this guide as soon as we know more.

The Villager of Level 999 is set in a world where everyone is born with a role that shapes their life, from warriors and mages to heroes and kings.
Among those roles, the villager is considered the weakest, merely being ordinary people with little power, and is generally protected by those with stronger classes.
Koji Kagami, however, is an exception. Despite being born as a villager, he has reached Level 999, giving him strength far beyond what the world expects from someone in his position.
The story follows Koji after he meets Alice, the daughter of the Demon King. As the pair’s encounter sets the series in motion, both become involved in a wider conflict between humans and demons, while challenging the rules that govern their world.
The Villager of Level 999 will stream on Crunchyroll.
