After years of anticipation from manga fans, the upcoming TV anime PSYREN has released its second teaser promotional video (PV), offering viewers their first-ever look at animated footage from the long-awaited adaptation.
Scheduled to premiere in October 2027, the anime is based on Toshiaki Iwashiro’s popular supernatural action manga, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2008 to 2010. The newly released trailer introduces the series’ mysterious atmosphere, its dangerous alternate world, and the high-stakes battles awaiting the main characters.
With stunning animation and suspenseful storytelling, the latest teaser has quickly become one of the most talked-about anime previews of the upcoming fall season.
A Long-Awaited Anime Adaptation
For many years, PSYREN was considered one of the most deserving manga to receive an anime adaptation.
Despite gaining a loyal fanbase during its original serialization, the series never received an anime—until now.
The announcement of the television adaptation has been welcomed enthusiastically by longtime readers, many of whom have waited over a decade to see the manga’s action scenes, supernatural powers, and mysterious world brought to life.
The release of the first animated footage marks a major milestone for the franchise.
What Is ‘PSYREN’ About?
PSYREN is a supernatural action and survival mystery centered around Ageha Yashiro, a rebellious yet kind-hearted high school student.
One day, his childhood friend and classmate Sakurako Amamiya suddenly disappears after leaving behind a chilling warning:
“The Siren is coming. Everyone will die.”
Determined to uncover the truth behind her disappearance, Ageha investigates a mysterious urban legend known as the Secret Society Siren.
His search eventually leads him to an abandoned public telephone, where he unknowingly activates a mysterious card that transports him into the terrifying Siren World—a ruined alternate reality filled with deadly creatures, mysterious powers, and dangerous survival games.
As Ageha fights to stay alive, he gradually uncovers the truth behind Siren and the fate of humanity itself.
New Teaser PV Reveals the First Animated Scenes

The trailer then recreates one of the manga’s most iconic moments, where Ageha accesses the mysterious Secret Society Siren through a public telephone.
Moments later, he is transported into the desolate and dangerous Siren World, where survival becomes his only objective.
The teaser also showcases:
- The eerie atmosphere of the ruined alternate world
- Fast-paced action sequences
- Terrifying monsters
- Sakurako Amamiya armed and ready for battle
