Ghost accounts becoming literal ghosts? That's such a perfectly modern horror concept that I'm surprised we didn't get this anime sooner. Dead Account is tackling the creepy reality of abandoned social media profiles by turning them into actual haunted digital specters that need to be exorcised. The creditless opening and ending just dropped, with "Dead End" by Haru Igarashi setting an appropriately eerie tone for this cyberkinesis-powered ghost-busting adventure. The premise of a secret academy training spirit mediums to fight digitized ghosts while the protagonist tries to pay his sister's medical bills? That's exactly the kind of emotional stakes mixed with supernatural action that hooks you in.

The opening is set to "Dead End" by Haru Igarashi, and the ending is set to "Raise wa Douse" by Miyu Kaneko.
