"Backstabbed in a Backwater Dungeon: My Trusted Companions Tried to Kill Me, But Thanks to the Gift of an Unlimited Gacha I Got LVL 9999 Friends" Anime Adaptation Announced with Teaser Visual
No premiere date or PV released yet. This was posted to the publisher's twitter account. Synopsis of the source light novels from AniList:
When Light is kicked out of the Concord of the Tribes, his former comrades instantly turn on him. Light escapes this diabolical act of betrayal by the skin of his teeth...only to find himself in the deepest part of the Abyss, the most dangerous dungeon in the realm! To avoid being eaten by carnivorous monsters, he uses the Unlimited Gacha, his sole magical skill. But where it previously only produced junk items, this time Mei—a gorgeous Level 9999 fighter in a maid outfit—springs forth! Fast forward three years and Light has carved out his own kingdom in this backwater dungeon, summoning more beautiful Level 9999 warriors who swear absolute fealty to him. Now a powerful Level 9999 Overlord himself, Light plans to ascend to the surface and take revenge on his betrayers one by one!
When I saw that title, I knew I had to include the whole damn thing. It's just too ridiculous.
Classic Light Novel title
While reading it is I was thinking. This has got to be a joke on anime titles.
It's funny because you can tell when an anime is from a Japanese light novel or not based on the length of the title.

IIRC it's because the dominant Japanese light novel website doesn't do descriptions well so the authors make the title the description.
A few tried to have a normal title AND a description in the title.

I wonder if syosetu.com has a character limit on light novel titles. This is getting out of control.
We'll find out when the adaptation of My Life Is Just As Wrong As I Expected After Traveling to Another World Where I’m Surrounded By Cute Girls At A Magical High School And Am Also The Fabled Hero of Legend... gets announced.
You weren't kidding 🤣. That is like the anime version of Too Many Cooks.

This was a bit too heavy on the whole revenge porn thing for me personally. It is exactly what it says on the tin though, so you'll definitely know if you're interested from the title alone.
