Laidbackers

Studio Gokumi’s ‘Laidbackers’ is the final original theatrical anime of the Heisei era (Japan is set to enter a new era after April 30, 2019 when the current emperor abdicates). The anime takes place in modern Kyoto. Kumi is a college student who moves to Kyoto in order to take over the candy store inherited from her late grandmother. The house accompanying the candy store was supposed to be unoccupied, but there Kumi meets three women (Harami, Mai, and K) and a dog. The four are heroes who were reincarnated from their world into this one. One day the former demon king, who messed up her reincarnation and is now in the form of an elementary school student, appears and asks her to collect the demon king fragments together. NB: Japanese with English subtitles.
