Plot (Summary from Crunchyroll)

My Thoughts Going In:

It is not enough to slay a demon lord. There has to be a legitimate “why”. That is the starting point for New Saga, where our hero, Kyle, has won the day, but lost everyone he loves. Lucky for him that he ends up getting ahold of a stone that can send him back in time, giving him the chance to get things right this time.

I’ve heard people talking about this like it’s the anime version of getting to play your favorite video game on New Game+. I’m a sucker for time travel narratives. And the art style in these previews looks promising. On the downside, I did hear that this may have had some production issues. I suppose only time will tell. For now, I am intrigued.
