Monster Strike

MIXI has set the next broadcast anime for the Monster Strike property. Mera x Death: Death and My Abnormal Love is scheduled to premiere January 5, 2027 on TOKYO MX and additional terrestrial stations, with streaming planned. Kenta Kushiya directs, Tadashi Sakazaki designs the characters, and Qzil.la and studio keel handle animation. The first reports listed ten other stations; a later story gives the count as nine plus TOKYO MX. The premise follows Mera, who is approached by a girl named Thirteen and told "I'll kill you."

The announcement follows the franchise's return to broadcast with Monster Strike: Deadverse Reloaded, which ran ten episodes from October 2025 and reached Amazon Prime Video with English subtitles in January. The Mera x Death story is the next step in that broadcast strategy, and it is built around a numbered heroine rather than the game's promotional orbit.

Outside animation, MIXI's activity runs in three directions. The company is pushing the game into new markets through anime crossovers, including a second Love Live! Series collaboration running September 1 to September 18, 2026 that adds μ's, A-RISE, and Saint Snow to a limited-time gacha. It is also testing physical events, with a Monstua Satellite Office at Kibi Service Area on the Sanyo Expressway from September 17 to November 3, 2026. And it is changing how the game and its materials are made: a partnership with Runway puts video generation AI into Monster Strike production, cutting a 21-day process to about 3 days, while Wovn and MIXI described an AI localization quality workflow behind STRIKE WORLD at CEDEC2026.
