The struggle for spiritual survival in the digital age already has a start date. The official website for the anime adaptation of the manga Dead Account, the work of Shizumu Watanabe (Real Account artist), revealed its third promotional video and a second key visual. The announcement confirmed that the series will premiere on January 10, 2026 within TV Asahi's IMAnimation block.

The new trailer introduced six new cast members who will bring the supporting characters to life:
- Fumiya Imai (Hiiragi en Given) as Dei Surugi

About the work
Shizumu Watanabe launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Magazine in January 2023, later moving to the Magazine Pocket app. The story follows a modern-day exorcist who battles spirits in a hyperconnected world. It should be remembered that the live-action adaptation of the author's previous work, Real Account, was canceled earlier this year, so expectations are set on this anime.
