On his way back from a job, he finds a strange calling card with the word "Psyren" imprinted left behind in a phone booth and decides to keep it, unaware of its purpose. The very next day, Ageha discovers that his classmate Sakurako Amamiya has the exact same calling card in her possession. When he questions her, Sakurako asks him to save her, signaling the day his troubles begin. Confused by the circumstances of this encounter, Ageha realizes something is wrong when Sakurako goes missing. In an attempt to figure out what is happening, he decides to call the number provided on the calling card and is asked a series of questions by a mysterious voice, ending with a final, cryptic question: "Would you like to go to Psyren?"

| holy shit.. after all this time |
 |
| Late 2000s boy-meets-girl shounen?.. aight count me in. |
 |
| I just hope they'll put atleast above average production values or else I won't be bothering with this. Satelights recent track record is very mixed with most being below average so not expecting anything. |
 |
| No way! I’ve been wanting to read this. I’m glad it’s finally getting adapted 🤩 |
             |
| Remakes, 50 millions season for the same anime, digging out almost 20 years manga literally EVERYTHING except animating so many recent stories that waiting to shine even more with anime series or making more seasons for successful anime series. Jesus the industry has become so weird |

Shonen Jump must be really desperate for money if an axed series from 15+ years ago is getting an anime...
| @RippleLover this has been the winner of the most request manga to get an anime adaption 3 times. Not only that but look at all the old manga getting adaptations. Ranma 1/2, Yaiba, Bleach. Just because something is old doesn't mean it getting a money adaptation is money grabbing. |

| @EcchiGodMamster are they adaptations of old manga? yes? point still proven. |
| Since I read it so long ago I don't know if it'll still hold up, but I'm excited!! |

| @komic but they've already been adapted 20-30 years ago and this hasn't yet? lol |
|
| The director is Katsumi Ono, so I think we should expect cheap shock factor like children being brutally murdered or women sexually assaulted on screen in the first episode. |
 |
| It's always cool to see something that ended so long ago get an anime adaptation. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |

@Yubisoft This isn't a remake. This is a fan requested adaptation.

Whatever the case is, no.... I didn't call it a remake. komic said: This is a fan requested adaptation. It would have been 15+ years ago, not now. What they do now is milking the people who still remember it by taking advantage of the Japanese studios' new trend of reviving fossils of the industry and censoring them like they did with Ranma and Jigoku Sensei Nube (2025). |

@Yubisoft It also would have been last year! |

| The manga wasn't terrible, but just why? Why this of all things? I don't think it ever was a big name, at least anywhere close to the calibre of other fossils getting new adaptations. |

| @Nanaca well if you looked at the trailer you would see it has won the "Manga we want to see Animated" three times. and was in the top ten multiple years. |
| Jump must be desperate if they finally decided to animate Psyren after axing it so mercilessly back then. I hope the anime is good and it has a better ending than the manga. |
 |
| Studio isn't giving much hope tbh. Also, this would be a complete adaptation as well, I mean it has to be.. so yeah, I hope the production somehow makes it through. |

| @Mythologically How that changed what I said.? Digging out fossils is recent trend. Thanks for confirming it. |

| @Yubisoft Your response to "This is a fan requested adaptation" was "It would have been 15+ years ago, not now." It was requested by fans in 2024. Nothing too complicated there. Based on your first message, I had assumed your gripe was that "the industry" is making random adaptations of old things that no one asked for, so I posted something showing that's not the case here. Judging by your response, it seems your complaint is actually that anything old would ever get adapted. |

Mythologically said: making random adaptations I never said they are picking random things but again this kind of thing choosing super old manga a recent trend and the image you posted is the result of this trend. Of course they don't pick random old manga. At least they pick old manga the people want... that is something I guess but it doesn't make the situation any less sad. |
| They are 15 years late. If they announced this while the manga were still ongoing in 2009-2010 it probably wouldn't get axed because of the added audience. Unfortunately the manga got most of its cult following after it ended. Hope it won't be another Hoshi no Samidare (Lucifer and The Biscuit Hammer) case. |

| @nachomaxo1 The same Symphogear that literary opened with children being slaughtered and crying for help? Yeah... |
|
| Hopefully they can adapt the whole thing and fix the manga ending. It was getting good before it got axed. |
| Goes to show that it's never too late. Awesome. |

| I guess theres still hope for Kyoani to adapt biomeat nectar and cage of eden |
| :v |
| OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! I just literally screamed!!! I'm so excited for this! Oh my god! I read all the volumes back in middle school, and high school. I'm so excited to see this finally get an adaptation. |
| My signature is lame... |
| This is a dream come true! I’ve been a fan for years and own the entire manga series. |

| Only heard of it in the past, judging by all the posts in this threat I guess it has its fan base. O.O |

| @Piromysl Berserk is heavily praised so why are we drawing the line at something tamer Your logic is dumb and nonsensical of that violence equals bad bs Not everything is gonna rainbow and sunshines Murder happens in real life too so are you gonna go on a parade how real life sucks because murders exist If you're actually a person that can actually discuss things with reasonable arguments you'd explain to me why the violence in this case was done badly , not your stupid "violence equals bad" "argument" |

| @Piromysl But you're calling the director's work is bad only just because it has violence and nothing else You're dumb for saying such a idiotic take Talk about how he directs badly to call him bad instead like any reasonable person would like how the production ends up being a mess from an animation perspective or sometimes unfinished That's what makes a director bad Not any of the BS you ever said |

| First Liar Game, and now we have Psyren adaptation. Never thought I would see this day. Guess I’ll re-read the manga again to refresh my memory as it’s been so long. |
| Wait, what? I did NOT see that coming. |
| wow, no kidding! I read that thing ages ago. I never would have thought people were still aware it existed. |
| I used to pray for days like this. |
