A press release announced that the game developed by Cosaico and PND GroupMystery of the Dead Murder“, will have an anime adaptation that will premiere on November 13th in Japan. The statement listed details of the production, but did not reveal the studio responsible.

On the other hand, the synopsis of this project writes:

  • The world has collapsed due to a zombie pandemic. The protagonist, Mikoto Amano, wakes up in an unfamiliar place with no memories and is taken in by six girls. However, a horrific incident occurs: a man who was taken with Mikoto is murdered, and the culprit is one of them. Set in the Tokyu Kabukicho tower, mysteries and secrets unfold within the now-sealed building. Will the girls, who have begun to form a bond, be able to uncover the truth behind the incident?

While the original board game is quite popular for its mysterious theme, the announcement of the anime adaptation raised more than one eyebrow, mainly because of the animation style. While recent works like "Girls Band Cry" demonstrate that CGI animation can be applauded with good designs and high frame rates, it seems that not all studios have access to these media.

And this was demonstrated in the community comments:

  • «At least the 3D is pretty decent».
  • «Oh no. Nothing beats it. Former arm. Of course, Mystery of the Dead Murder It's close, but not on the same level.».
  • «No one can overcome Former arm».
  • «There's probably only one really bad moment, when they use a realistic human being as a corpse, but that's a matter of art direction, not 3D animation. The CGI is meh, but definitely not at the level of Former arm».
  • «Well, to be honest, at least it looks a little better, hahaha».
  • «At least Former arm I tried to combine 2D and 3D animation. These guys here didn't even try, seriously».
  • «It looks like a fan-made show with a bunch of Vtubers».
  • «I mean, if people can take advantage of it RWBYwhy not this? Hahaha, although I won't see it».
  • «This is light years above Former arm. Is CGI bad? Sure, but it doesn't even come close to how horribly bad and comically awful the visuals are. Former arm».
  • «The animation is flawed, obviously, but calling this 'Ex-Arm of 2024', don't you think that's a bit of an exaggeration?».
  • «No kidding, this looks a lot better than that mess, and Crunchy Roll isn't involved here, thank God. Somehow, they always manage to ruin everything they touch.».
  • «Good. I don't think you really know how bad the CGI animation is. Former arm».
  • «This would probably be great with some decent animation».
  • «I feel like the Japanese animation industry is declining more and more, and decent productions are becoming increasingly rare. There are so many incredible manga that have been sacrificed with such mediocre adaptations, it's very sad to see this.».
  • «To all the studios trying to make anime like this: please stop, it never looks good.».
  • «I'm a big defender of CGI anime because people even hate the good ones... but even I can't defend that.».
  • «What's with this animation? Those eyes look soulless. This is Former arm at its best».
  • «I love 3D animated TV shows like this... I just wish they would stop using that annoying 15 FPS.Restart It was released in the 90s and had smoother animation!».
