4. The Strongest Sage With The Weakest Crest
Regarding the most anticipated anime on rebirth magic, we cannot miss The Strongest Sage With The Weakest Crest. The story centers on a sage who travels thousands of years into the future and is resurrected as a little child named Mathias Hildesheimr. The rationale for this action is that his magic mark is seen as only effective for strengthening magic and not for battle; thus, he wanted to go to the future world to get the combat skill he has always desired. However, the contemporary world has evolved. Human magic and weapons have degenerated, rendering his once-powerful mark useless.
