So without further ado, here’s everything we know about the Undead Unluck anime series including its plot, trailer, release date and cast.
The gripping plot of ‘Undead Unluck’
Undead Unluck unfolds in a world where certain individuals, known as ‘Negators,’ wield the power to defy the laws of nature. Those unable to die are labelled ‘Undead,’ while those plagued by ill fortune earn the title of ‘Unhealthy.’ Our protagonist, Fuuko, finds herself in a situation that’s anything but fortunate. Her Unluck ability casts a shadow of misfortune upon everything she touches, making her dreams of passionate romance almost impossible to come true. Faced with this relentless curse, she contemplates a grim end – suicide.
However, fate has other plans for her. Enter Andy, a Negator whose Undead powers defy death itself. He intercepts Fuuko’s desperate bid for escape, convincing her to redirect her energies towards helping him find a way to end his eternal life. Their journey takes an unexpected twist when Andy, in his quest for the ultimate stroke of Unluck, sweeps Fuuko into a whirlwind of adventures. Together, they form an unlikely alliance while being chased by a deadly corporation called the Union, which itself is made up of other Negators. Soon, a series of uncanny events start to transpire, leaving Fuuko and Andy to navigate a treacherous path in this strange and violent world.
Meet the enigmatic cast of ‘Undead Unluck’
The upcoming anime series features a stellar cast, with Moe Kahara portraying Fuuko Izumo and Yūichi Nakamura lending his voice to Andy. For the other prominent characters, Natsuki Hanae takes on the role of Shen, while Kenji Nomura embodies Void. The new trailer has also unveiled additional cast members, including Mariya Ise, Aoi Yuki, Rie Kugimiya, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Koji Yusa, Tomokazu Sugita and Rikiya Koyama, who bring life to characters belonging to The Union and The Under organisations.
