Through a press release, author Shizumu Watanabe announced
that his manga " Dead Account " will have an anime
adaptation produced by SynergySP studios . The release did not
reveal a scheduled premiere date, but it did list the voice cast, which
includes:
- Nobuhiko
Okamoto as Soji Enoshiro.
- Kouki
Uchiyama as Kukuru Kasubata.
- Ai
Fairouz as Kiyomi Urusugawa.
The statement included a comment from the author:
- « "Dead
Account" is getting a TV anime adaptation! One of the big themes of
this show is the "generational shift between analog and
digital." If you think about it, television also went through that
transition, leaving analog behind and becoming digital. Looking back on my
childhood, when I would sit glued to a CRT TV screen watching anime, the
excitement of this story becoming an anime really starts to hit home. With
the incredibly talented production team and cast, "Dead Account"
has become even stronger in this adaptation. I hope you enjoy it! »
Shizumu Watanabe began serializing the manga
in Kodansha 's Weekly Shonen Magazine in

in October 2023. He previously serialized the manga " Real Account "
in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine between February 2014 and November
2019. This manga was going to be adapted into a live-action film, but the
project ended up being canceled.

Always ready for a fight! Destruction for the sheer joy
of destruction! Aoringo is a controversial online streamer, a true troll who
specializes in creating the most provocative and controversial content,
generating outrage and accumulating income thanks to viewers who hate him but

school dropout who, far from being a monster, is a loving older brother with a
weakness for sweets.

whom she adores above all else. Her viral videos are merely a means to an end:
paying her sick sister's expensive medical bills. Soji doesn't care if the
whole world despises her, as long as she can recover. But then, something very
strange begins to happen... Don't miss this tale of exorcism battles with a
modern twist and a touch of the occult!
