  Undead Unluck: The Most Underrated Anime of 2023

  NO SPOILERS

  (so dont worry)

  ---

  Undead Unluck is an anime that deserves so much more love than it gets. Beneath its chaotic humor and wild premise lies a story with a surprising amount of heart. It isn’t just underrated; it’s criminally overlooked, and it honestly hurts to think how many people are missing out on something this special. There’s so much more to this series than meets the eye, and it deserves attention from anyone who loves unique, character-driven stories.

  One thing that makes the show stand out immediately is its power system. Negation abilities rewrite the rules of reality through pure rejection. Each user is bound to an aspect of the world they cannot allow to exist, and that denial becomes the source of their power. What makes this system so fascinating is that the abilities don’t reflect the person at all. They’re given at random, dropped onto ordinary people who suddenly find themselves forced to live in defiance of some fundamental law of the universe. Every encounter, every conflict, and every battle feels fresh and unpredictable because you never know exactly how a Negator will use their power or how the world will react.

  The twists in this season are some of the most surprising I’ve seen in a while. They aren’t cheap shocks; they’re grounded in themes the show has been slowly threading from the start. Just when you think you understand the world or the rules it’s built on, the story shifts. Sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically, and those revelations make the journey feel all the more gripping. There’s always a constant sense of unpredictability that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

  But the soul of this story is Andy and Fuuko. Andy’s longing for death, paired with Fuuko’s fear of hurting anyone, creates a bond that feels both awkward and deeply human. The way they learn to trust each other, laugh with each other, and slowly lean on each other gives the show an emotional weight that sneaks up on you. Their chemistry can be flashy at times, but their antics start to grow on the viewer, whether it hits you in the first few episodes or near the very end.

  With all that said, only Season 1 has been released, and we’re getting a movie this Christmas (2025)! Since I’ve read the manga in its entirety and rewatched this season almost three times, I can say confidently that the story only gets more and more interesting. You’re here for hype moments? We’ve got that. You want a strong couple who rely on each other but can also stand on their own when needed? We’ve got that. You want a story that’s unique and unlike most shounen released in the past decade? WE’VE GOT THAT!

  I promise you’ll love this show. You just have to sit down and really pay attention. Once you give it the time it deserves, you’ll find a series that is equal parts entertaining, emotional, and utterly unforgettable.
