Jeho Son's Eleceed, the webtoon he created with ZHENA, is being adapted as a television anime by DandeLion Animation Studio. The series was originally announced for a 2026 premiere and has since been pushed to April 2027.
Both stories about Jeho Son concern the same project: the television anime adaptation of Eleceed, the webtoon Son created with ZHENA. In June 2026, Amuse Creative Studio announced a delay from the originally planned 2026 premiere to early 2027, and released a key visual along with an online store, a Discord server and an English-language Instagram account. Hiroshi Nishikiori directs at DandeLion Animation Studio, with Yousuke Kuroda on series composition.
The release window moved again in October 2026, when the official website began streaming an English-subtitled trailer and announced an April 2027 premiere. The trailer named Junya Enoki as Jiwoo Seo and Tasuku Hatanaka as Wooin, with Setsuji Sato and Shizuka Ito also in the cast. The trailer is the first confirmed material beyond the key visual, and the April 2027 date replaces the early 2027 window.
What is settled is the production team and the lead cast; what has changed twice is the release timing. The webtoon itself, which debuted in 2018, has been serialized in more than 10 languages and passed 1.42 billion views globally. Son's earlier work Noblesse was adapted as an anime by Production I.G in 2020.
