Amuse Creative Studio has announced that the TV anime adaptation of Jeho Son and ZHENA’s ELECEED webtoon series will premiere in 2027 instead of the originally planned 2026 release. A new key visual for the ELECEED anime was also released.
Hiroshi Nishikiori is directing the anime at Dandelion Animation Studio. Yōsuke Kuroda writes and oversees the series scripts, and Minami Sakura is the character designer. More details about the new anime will be revealed at the “Amuse Creative Studio Presents: How the Pros Make Anime & Manga” panel at Anime Expo 2025 on July 6. Dandelion Animation Studio president Kazuhiro Nishikawa will appear there.
ELECEED launched in 2018, and it’s been serialized in over 10 languages since then. It’s one of NAVER WEBTOON’s top-performing battle-action webtoon with over 1.42 billion views globally.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the story, via WEBTOON:
Jiwoo is a kind-hearted young man who harnesses the lightning quick reflexes of a cat to secretly make the world a better place – one saved little child or foster pet at a time. Kayden is a secret agent on the run, who finds himself stuck in the body of a…um…decidedly fat old fluffy cat. Together, armed with Jiwoo’s super powers and Kayden’s uber-smarts, they’re out to fight those forces who would let evil rule this world. That is, if they can stand each other long enough to get the job done.
