Undead Unluck is getting a new anime in late 2025, and it will be a 1-hour special. The Japanese announcement used ‘Winter 2025,’ but that seems to be referring to the end of the year rather than the upcoming Winter 2025 anime season which seasonal fans might think of first. The clarification came via TMS Entertainment, which officially specifies the release window to be later down the year.
The anime had previously teased a big announcement for August 1, which is the day Andy and Fuko first met. Studio David Production will be returning to animate, and you can watch the teaser trailer for the new anime below.
The same teaser is featured as a visual for the project, and you can see both the Japanese and English versions below.
The Undead Unluck new anime special staff will have returning members from the TV anime, including Yuki Yase as the director, Hideyuki Morioka as the character designer, and Kenichiro Suehiro as the music composer. UNLIMITED PRODUCE by TMS is producing the anime.
It’s adapting the manga by Yoshifumi Tozuka, whom Anime Corner recently had the chance to interview, writes and draws the Undead Unluck manga. It is serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, with 21 released volumes as of May 2024. VIZ licensed the manga in English, and they describe the story:
What happens when an unlucky girl meets an undead guy? Pure chaos! Tired of inadvertently killing people with her special ability Unluck, Fuuko Izumo sets out to end it all. But when she meets Andy, a man who longs for death but can’t die, she finds a reason to live—and he finds someone capable of giving him the death he’s been longing for. All Fuuko wants is a whirlwind romance like the one in her favorite shojo manga. Unfortunately, her Unluck ability makes that impossible. But just as Fuuko hits rock bottom, Andy sweeps her off her feet—literally! Now she’s become Andy’s unwilling test subject as he works to find a way to trigger a stroke of Unluck big enough to kill him for good. However, when the pair discovers a secret organization is hunting them, it puts Andy’s burial plans on hold.
