Roll Over and Die TV Anime Reveals Promo Video, Cast, Key Visual

The staff of the television anime based on writer kiki and illustrator Kinta's ROLL OVER AND DIE: I Will Fight for an Ordinary Life with My Love and Cursed Sword! (“Omae Gotoki ga Maō ni Kateru to Omou na” to Yūsha Party o Tsuihō Sareta node, Ōto de Kimama ni Kurashitai) light novel series revealed the anime's promotional video, cast, and key visual on Sunday. The anime will premiere in 2026 under the international title Roll Over and Die.

Ayaka Nanase plays Flum Apricot in the anime.

Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing the light novel series in English, and it describes the story:

Flum Apricot was never meant to be a hero. Despite stats that were zeroes across the board and a power she can't even use, she somehow finds herself a member of a party of heroes. But Flum's life hits rock bottom when the party's renowned sage, Jean Inteige, decides that the useless girl is dead weight, and arranges to have her sold into slavery. Tossed to monsters to be feasted upon for her master's entertainment, Flum makes the desperate choice to reach for a cursed weapon…and something new awakens within her. A grimdark tale about one woman's blood-soaked quest to reclaim her life!

Seven Seas is also releasing the novel series in audiobook format featuring narrator Emily Bauer. Additionally, Seven Seas is releasing Sunao Minakata's manga adaptation.

kiki launched the novel series with illustrations by Kinta in 2018, and Micro Magazine published the fourth volume in Japan in January 2020. The novel series changed artists with the fifth volume, with kodamazon drawing the illustrations. The manga and light novels have a combined 415,000 copies in circulation (including digital copies sold).

Seven Seas previously released Minakata's Akuma no Riddle: Riddle Story of Devil manga.
