The Undead Unluck action anime, which is set to enter its second cour next January, has gotten a second main trailer. Aside from fights, the video previews the new theme songs, “Love Call” by Shiyui and “Kono Ai ni Kanau mon wa nai” by OKAMOTO’S.
A character design image for Anno Un was also released.
Undead Unlock is based on the manga by Yoshifumi Tozuka, which began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 2020 and has 18 tankoubon volumes as of October 2023. The first cour premiered on October 6 (effectively October 7 at 1:23 AM JST) in Japan and is streamed internationally on Hulu.
Viz Media describes the manga as:
All Fuuko wants is a passionate 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.
