Eleceed anime premieres in April 2027

Eleceed (エレキシード) will premiere as a television anime in April 2027, with DandeLion Animation Studio producing the adaptation. The announcement confirms the month but not an exact day or broadcast schedule. ¹²

Crunchyroll is set to stream the series worldwide except in Japan and China. The official English trailer describes the release window as April 2027, while the series’ official site has now updated that window from the earlier “early 2027” timing. ¹²³

A webtoon adaptation with a new window

The series follows Jiwoo, a kind-hearted teenager with the reflexes of a cat, and Kayden, a fugitive secret agent trapped in the body of a large cat. The original webtoon launched in 2018 from writer Jeho Son and artist ZHENA. ¹

Hiroshi Nishikiori is directing at DandeLion Animation Studio, with Yousuke Kuroda handling series composition and Minami Sakura designing the characters. The staff announcement gives the adaptation a clear production team, although the exact broadcast stations have not yet been announced. ¹

The April date is a small but meaningful refinement rather than a surprise new project. Eleceed had previously been expected in early 2027 after its original 2026 premiere plan was pushed back. The new month gives viewers a firmer window without pretending that a day has been locked in. ¹²

Our opinion

An April 2027 launch is a sensible update for an adaptation that has already had one delay. The premise has a properly anime-friendly hook — a superpowered teenager and a secret agent sharing the world with a giant cat — but the production team will need to make that odd-couple energy work without losing the webtoon’s action and warmth.

For now, the useful news is the narrower window and the confirmed international streaming plan. Until the staff names the exact day and Japanese broadcast partners, April is the detail to remember, not a reason to start counting down to a specific week.
