Hulu Grabs Exclusive Streaming Rights for ‘Undead Unluck’ Anime

The ‘unlucky’ Fuuko, whose touch can cause people to die meets Andy, an undead who wants to die. ‘Undead Unluck’ brings both fighting people having the same abilities as Andy with the organization called The Union by their side.

TMS announced the anime adaptation last year, with the first teaser released in December. It blew our minds with how Andy was regenerating himself and his superhuman strength.

On Thursday, TMS Entertainment announced that the anime adaptation of ‘Undead Unluck’ will stream exclusively on Hulu. The anime will make its television debut in October this year. The anime will also premiere at Hulu’s booth at Anime Expo 2023 on July 2.

‘Undead Unluck’ will also premiere at the convention at the Anime Expo. The exclusive panel for the anime will have Natsuki Hanae (CV: Shen), Moe Kahara (CV: Fuuko Izumo), and manga editors Takumi Hashimoto and Ryōta Hasegawa as guests.

TMS and Bang Zoom! Studios are also holding auditions at the convention for a role in the English dub of the anime on Tuesday i.e. July 4.

‘Undead Unluck’ gives off a ‘Chainsaw Man’ impression as the main characters want something for themselves and team up with the Union. However, it is not as dark and haunting and replaces it with comic elements a lot more.
