Anime enthusiasts are undoubtedly in for a treat. However, one new anime stands head and shoulders above the rest and holds the potential to become the crown jewel of the Fall 2023 lineup: Undead Unluck.
Undead Unluck Has the Ingredients To Become a Hit
Undead Unluck is a manga turned anime known for its popularity, selling approximately 1.5 million copies. Fans were thrilled when it was announced that David Productions, the studio responsible for renowned anime like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Fire Force, would be handling the adaptation. With their exceptional animation style, viewers can expect nothing short of brilliance. The trailers for the anime have garnered much attention, showcasing impressive sound effects and animation reminiscent of Fire Force. The involvement of notable professionals in the industry only adds to the high expectations surrounding this series. However, what truly sets Undead Unluck apart and makes it a strong contender for the top anime of Fall 2023 is its captivating story.
The series revolves around Fuuko Izumo, a depressed individual who contemplates suicide after finishing her favorite manga. Her touch brings about a streak of horrifying misfortune, often leading to the death of those affected, resulting in the demise of 200 individuals, including her parents. Just as she is about to act on her decision, she accidentally touches a man who is subsequently killed by an approaching train. However, to her surprise, he miraculously regenerates. Curious about this man, they form a bond and Fuuko discovers that he also desires death. As they face threats from a mysterious organization targeting their unique abilities, the two individuals join forces. The immortal man, named Andy, agrees to assist Fuuko in order to ultimately meet his demise in the most thrilling manner possible.
"Undead Unluck" is an action-packed series that guarantees bouts of laughter for its audience. Andy's eccentric and unpredictable personality greatly influences the anime. The show incorporates exaggerated violence similar to "Chainsaw Man" but also incorporates comedic elements, making it truly distinctive. With its compelling power system, endearing characters, and captivating storyline, the anime possesses all the ingredients for a successful show. This addition will undoubtedly strengthen David Productions' impressive repertoire of hits.
Undead Unluck will start airing in October 2023 and will be available exclusively on Hulu.
