Muse Asia began streaming the television anime adaptation of Tsuyoshi Fujitaka's My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered (Sokushi Cheat ga Saikyōsugite, Isekai no Yatsura ga marude Aite ni Naranain Desu ga.) light novel series and the television anime of writer Takahiro and artist Yōhei Takemura's Chained Soldier (Mato Seihei no Slave or literally, Slave of the Magic Capital's Elite Troops) manga in India on Thursday.

Both anime titles are also streaming in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, and Pakistan. Chained Soldier is also streaming in Indonesia and Thailand.

My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered premiered in Japan on Thursday. Muse Asia describes the story:

It's the birth of the strongest protagonist who can kill all his enemies instantly!

During a school trip, Yogiri Takatou and his classmates were suddenly summoned to another world. The one who summoned them is a Sage named Sion.

She gives them a special ability called "Gift", and unilaterally pronounces that they must complete the trials to become a Sage.

Even though they are all still shaken by the sudden situation, they begin to take action.

However, for some reason, some students cannot receive Gift, including Yogiri and Tomochika Dannoura. Those students without abilities are left as decoys when a dragon is approaching.

The remaining students are killed one after another by the dragon. yogiri and Tomochika are in danger!

...that was what we thought.

"Die."

Yogiri defeated the dragon with a single word. And what a surprise, he has an "Instant Death" ability, which allows him to instantly kill any target of his choice!

Yogiri and Tomochika begin a journey in order to get back to their original world. They meet various people from another world who have cheat-like abilities.

An immortal vampire? A redo of a hero? A reincarnated person who is doted on by the gods? They are not a match against the Instant Death ability!

An adventure in another world of a downer boy with an unprecedented cheat ability as his weapon and a slightly clumsy pretty girl now begins!

Masakazu Hishida (Fairy Ranmaru, Ensemble Stars!!, KING OF PRISM by PrettyRhythm) is directing the anime at animation studio Okuruto Noboru. Jou Aoba (a penname for Hishida) is writing and overseeing the series scripts. Sayuri Sakimoto (Tenchi Muyo! Ryo Ohki (OAV 5/2020) is the character designer. Music composers include Hanae Nakamura, Tatsuhiko Saiki, Kanade Sakuma, and Daisuke Kadowaki. Maika Sakuragi (voiced by Anna Suzuki) of the virtual girl group Utahime Dream will perform the ending theme song "Haze."

Fujitaka first released the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2016 before Earth Star Entertainment began publishing it with illustrations by Chisato Naruse.

Hanamaru Nanto has been serializing a manga adaptation titled My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered —AΩ— on the Comic Earth Star service since 2018. J-Novel Club offers both the light novels and manga in English.

Chained Soldier premiered on Thursday. The series was previously slated to premiere in 2023. Muse Asia describes the anime:
Mysterious gates suddenly appear all over Japan.

In another dimension beyond the gate called Mato, there are Peaches that only women can eat giving them unique abilities. They are fighting as a female-organized fighting group, the "Demon Defense Force", in order to exterminate the monster known as "Shuuki".

One day, Yuuki Wakura, a high school boy who is looking for a place to play a role, happens to wander into Mato and is attacked by Shuukis. Kyouka Uzen, the beautiful commander of the Demon Defense Force 7th Squad, rushes to his aid. Yuuki is transformed into a slave by Kyouka's ability, and then he successfully defeats Shuukis. He ends up fighting Shuukis as a slave and the caretaker of the Demon Defense Force.

A battle fantasy of "the boy who becomes a pet" starts here!
