The producers of the TV anime «Eleceed» have released a new key visual and simultaneously launched several official platforms for the fan community. The image shows the five main characters of the series: the kind-hearted teenager Kazahaya Yu, the strongest awakened being Kaido, who has transformed into a stray cat, as well as Jin Tatsuoka, Souta Yanagi, and Amane Yanagi. This gives viewers a first comprehensive impression of the cast of the action-adventure, which is based on the webtoon of the same name by SJH (story) and ZHENA (artwork).
The story is set in a world where so-called awakened beings with supernatural abilities operate in secret. The shy high school student Kazahaya Yu, who has hidden his own powers all his life, encounters the wounded Kaido, the most powerful of all awakened beings. After an ambush, Kaido has transformed into a cat and is nursed back to health by Yu. Together, the two are drawn into the machinations of powerful organizations. The director is Hiroshi Nishikiori, known for works such as «Toaru Majutsu no Index» and «Honey Lemon Soda». The series concept and scripts are handled by Yosuke Kuroda («My Hero Academia»). The character design is by Minami Sakura, and the animation is produced by Studio DandeLion Animation Studio, which previously worked on «The First Slam Dunk» and the Oscar-nominated short film «Magic Candies».
On June 26, the official online shop opened its doors, offering exclusive merchandise for the series. Those who make a purchase there by July 26 will receive the Discord rank «The First Paws», which grants access to future product surveys, among other benefits. At the same time, an official Discord server was launched: everyone who joins by July 5 will receive the rank «Super Speed» and a 10 percent discount coupon for the online shop. Additionally, an English-language Instagram account has been set up to provide international fans with news.
The webtoon «Eleceed» has been published on the Naver Webtoon platform since October 2018 and has garnered over 17.5 billion views worldwide. The series is available in more than ten languages and is one of the most-read titles in the battle-action genre. The anime adaptation was originally announced for 2026 but has been postponed to early 2027. Further details, such as the voice actors or the exact broadcast schedule, are expected to be announced in the coming months. As part of the Anime Expo in Los Angeles starting July 2, the creators SJH and ZHENA will personally appear at the «ELECEED» booth.
The anime is being produced under the title «ELECEED» and is expected to air on Japanese television in early 2027.
