What
is the ROLL OVER AND DIE anime about?
The plot is
set in a world threatened by the Demon Lord, where a group of heroes is chosen
by divine design to face him. Among them is Flum Apricot, a girl
with no apparent offensive abilities, whose power called "Reversal" seems
useless. After being betrayed and sold into slavery, her destiny changes
drastically when she comes into contact with a cursed sword. With
the help of his partner Milkit, Flum undertakes a struggle to
regain his freedom and find an ordinary life, thus unleashing the true
potential of his gift.
With a dark
premise, girl-to-girl romance and intense battles, ROLL OVER AND DIE aims
to become one of the most talked-about titles of the year of its release. The
first trailer hints at an animation full of drama and action, while its focus
on self-improvement and the emotional bond between the
protagonists promises to capture both yuri fans and those looking for stories
with emotional weight.
