The Detective Is Already Dead PV video announces the ending and starting date

The official website for the TV anime of the light novel series The Detective Is Already Dead (Tantei wa Mō, Shindeiru.) by Nigojū and Umibōzu has released the anime's second promotional video. The video announces the anime's premiere on July 4 with a one-hour special, and it also previews the opening theme song at the end. The "V-artist" and illustrator Kagura Nana performs the ending theme song "Kodō" (Heartbeat).

Manabu Kurihara (Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! Character Designer/Chief Animation Director) is directing the anime at ENGI, and Deko Akao (Arakawa Under the Bridge, Suppose a Kid From the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town) is in charge of the series scripts. Yōsuke Itō (Hensuki, Holmes of Kyoto, King's Game The Animation) is designing the characters, and INCS Toenter is producing the music.

The novels revolve around Kimihiko Kimizuka, a third-year high school student and former assistant to a detective named Siesta. He met Siesta three years ago when he was aboard a hijacked plane 10,000 meters above the ground. For three years, the two experienced one death-defying adventure after another, which ultimately ended with Siesta's untimely death. Left alone, Kimihiko tries his best to reintegrate into a normal life.
