The anime adaptation of the manga Dead Account is set to premiere next year, with the series launch slated for January 2026. The news was announced today on the anime's official website.
The animation studio Synergy SP, known for their work on popular series such as "Too Cute Crisis" and "Sweet Reincarnation", is leading the project. The protagonist, Soji Endo, will be voiced by seiyuu Nobuhiko Okamoto, who's well known for his role as Katsuki Bakugo in the series "My Hero Academia".
With the rise of the internet, digital ghosts have emerged - these are the accounts of those who have passed away with regrets. Soji Endo, a young man, streams online to earn money to pay for his younger sister's medical expenses. However, after a certain incident, he discovers that he possesses unusual abilities. These abilities lead him to a school that trains a new generation of mediums, capable of exorcising these digital ghosts.
The original manga has been in publication since January 2023 and has been compiled into 11 volumes to date. Shizumu Watanabe, the creator of the "Real Account" series about survival games in virtual reality, is the mastermind behind this work.
