Dead Account

Always ready for a fight! Destruction for destruction's sake! The online streamer Aoringo is a troll, making the worst of the worst of boundary-pushing flamebait content and raking in the revenue from the hate-watchers. You may think he's nothing more than a bottom feeder and a drain on society, but in reality, he's high school dropout Souji Enishiro, a caring older brother with a sweet tooth who loves nothing more than his little sister. His viral videos? Just a way to pay his sister's medical bills. And even if all of humanity hates him, he doesn't care, so long as his little sister gets better. But then, something very strange begins to happen...
 Don't miss the debut of this modern-day occult exorcism battle manga!

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

At first glance, Dead Account might evoke comparisons to other popular shonen, but irony aside, it manages to stand on its own as a fairly engaging entry in the genre. The story presents a familiar structure while incorporating modern narrative elements that feel fresh and somewhat uncommon within anime, which helps set it apart from more traditional approaches.

The premise introduced in the first episode is particularly strong, especially regarding a plot point involving the protagonist’s sister. While this aspect cannot be discussed in detail without spoilers, it serves as an effective hook and establishes emotional stakes early on. So far, the pacing remains solid, allowing ... the story to progress without feeling rushed or stagnant.

Visually, the animation is consistent and appealing. While it does not reach an exceptional level, it performs well enough to support the action and narrative without becoming a distraction. The opening and ending themes also carry a certain charm, both musically and in presentation, even if they are not especially memorable.

As for the characters, they already leave a fairly positive impression. Even though not all of them have been fully explored yet, their personalities are distinct enough to spark interest, and their vibrant visual designs help them stand out early on. One detail that particularly stands out is the protagonist’s voice actor, who is the same as Rin Okumura’s. Combined with the character’s blue flames, this similarity feels like a playful homage or an interesting coincidence, adding an extra layer of appeal for viewers familiar with similar roles.

Overall, Dead Account shows solid potential. Its modern narrative ideas, good pacing, and visually appealing presentation make it an enjoyable shounen experience so far. With continued development of its characters and themes, the series has the groundwork needed to grow into something more memorable as it progresses.

Preliminary (7/12 eps)

It's quite boring and the dialogue is weak and the character writing isn't much better. Characters being assholes for the sake of being assholes and being pretty one dimensional and so far they all have 1 character trait and that's it and it isn't even an interesting one. Watch The Dark Gathering if you want an interesting shounen supernatural anime with good character development, dialogue, an intriguing plot, and characters that aren't one dimensional with a story that will actually make you give a shit. I'm done with my review but I'm being forced to write more for literally no reason so I'm just going ... to keep rambling until I can post my review
