Tank Chair anime confirms October debut with new PV, cast, and theme songs

Tank Chair anime just locked in its arrival window, ending months of anticipation. Bandai Namco Filmworks confirmed the premiere in the latest update, and additionally, it revealed several new cast members and what the theme song would be about.

Tank Chair anime is set to debut on Japanese television. Tokyo MX starts airing the show on October 4 at 11:00 p.m. JST, followed by other networks to complete the overall domestic airing.

The plot revolves around Nagi Taira, once the fiercest assassin, but right now in a coma after a bullet meant for his sister hit him. His sister, Shizuka, realizes that the only way to revive him is to put him in real danger, and this will bring the siblings on the road to his recovery. All this will become more complicated with the arrival of Nagi's former classmate Naozumi Kurosaka.

The role of sound in the world of Tank Chair is crucial. The theme song of the anime, "DALALA," is performed by SiM, the reggae band that has found enormous success in Japan. Another song that completes the series is "SYNC," a beautiful song by singer Daoko that reveals the relationship between the two characters.
