The psychic battle action manga “Dead Account” has been decided to be made into a TV anime, and it has been revealed that Okamoto Nobuhiko, Uchiyama Kouki, and Fairouz Ai will appear. The animation will be produced by Synergy SP, which also produced “Goodbye Ryusei, Hello Life” and “Mr. Bad One on a Holiday”. A teaser visual has also been released.
The original work by Watanabe Shizu is currently being serialized on Kodansha’s manga app “Magazine Pocket”. Enishiro Souji, who was active as a flame war streamer, awakens to the digitalized psychic power “Dennou” and enrolls in the spiritual medium school “Miden Gakuen”. The story depicts his struggle to exorcise the “Bakeaku”, the digital ghosts that have turned into the SNS accounts of those who died with regrets. The latest volume 10 of the book will be released on March 17th.
Enjo Sori (CV: Okamoto Nobuhiko)
Okamoto plays Sori, who works as a flame war streamer called “Agaringo” to earn money for his beloved younger sister’s medical expenses. Among the students in the 1st floor class B to which Sori is transferred, Uchiyama plays Kasubata Kukuri, a class representative who makes it a daily habit to “flame war” in order to correct the evil that is rampant on the internet, and Fairouz Ai plays Urusugawa Kiyomi, an obsessive girl who chases after a certain band member.

The full comments from the cast are as follows:
[Okamoto Nobuhiko (role of Enjo Sori)]
I will be playing the role of Enjo Souri. My name is Okamoto Nobuhiko. In the internet society, there are many different genres of streaming and ways of using SNS, but Enjo’s streaming is of the “flaming genre.” The interesting thing about “Dead Account” is that this genre directly becomes an ability. I hope you enjoy finding out why this straightforward guy becomes a flaming type!
[Uchiyama Kouki (Kasumi Ryucho)]
I voice Kasumi Ryūkaku, a student at Yaden Academy who fights with a hammer. I often use foul language, like “Damn it!”, but I always regret it. He has a generally cool personality, but he also has passionate emotions, so I’m doing my best to express the various sides of Kasumi Ryūkaku. Unique characters appear one after another, and the action of the various fighting styles is depicted in a very fascinating way, so please check it out.
