A teaser trailer, teaser visual, and 2026 premiere date have been revealed for the ROLL OVER AND DIE TV anime adaptation.
It was also announced that Ayaka Nanase is the voice of protagonist Flum.
ROLL OVER AND DIE is based on the light novel series written by Kiki, which is published under Micro Magazine’s GC Novels label. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the premise as:
Flum Apricot was never meant to be a hero. Despite zero stats across the board and a power she can’t even use, she somehow finds herself included in a party of heroes. But Flum’s life hits rock bottom when the party’s renowned sage, Jean Inteige, decides that the useless girl is dead weight, and arranges to have her sold into slavery. Tossed to monsters to be feasted upon for her master’s entertainment, Flum makes the desperate choice to reach for a cursed weapon…and something new awakens within her. A grimdark tale about one woman’s blood-soaked quest to reclaim her life!
The story began as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel in January 2018. The light novels, which have inspired a manga adaptation, have had four volumes released between 2018 to 2020. Volume 5 was released in May 2025.
While the first four volumes were illustrated by kinta, Volume 5 has kodamazon as illustrator, with kinta credited as original character designer. Both have the original character designer credit for the anime.
