The Unwanted Undead Adventurer anime finally gets an English dub
In typical incredibly slow Crunchyroll fashion, The Unwanted Undead Adventurer has finally been given an English dub only four months after its original Japanese language version ended.
It will premiere on Crunchyroll tomorrow, July 24th.
The Japanese anime The Unwanted Undead Adventurer premiered on January 8th, 2024 and ran through March 25th.
English dub cast for The Unwanted Undead Adventurer announced
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer English dub cast was also announced today with the four main voice actors named.
They are:
Alex Hom (Rensuke in Blue Lock) as Rentt
Corey Pettit (Flay in Am I Actually the Strongest?) voicing Lorraine
Katie Caruso (Michiko in Strike Witches) playing Sheila
Abigail Blythe (Kikoru in Kaiju No. 8) as Rina
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer English dub is being directed by Lee George (Bucchigiri?!), with Zach Bolton (Dimension W) producing, and Clayton Browning adapting the original anime.
The popular action adventure fantasy anime is based on the light novel series written by Yu Okana and illustrated by Jaian.
It is directed by Noriaki Akitaya (Ayakashi Triangle), with Yukie Sugawara (Overlord) in charge of series composition, and Takao Sano (Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut) both designing the characters and the chief animation director.
Studio Connect (Slow Loop) is in charge of anime production.
Crunchyroll streamed the original Japanese version as it aired in Japan, and will also stream The Unwanted Undead Adventurer English dub.
The anime was well-received by viewers, and is currently rated a solid 7.43 out of 10 rating via My Anime List.
They describe its plot like this:
While exploring a labyrinth, Rentt Faina, an adventurer with lots of experience but little to show for it, is killed by a dragon upon discovering its lair. Shockingly, he wakes up to find himself turned into a skeleton, the lowest class of undead monsters.
As Rentt fights against the other monsters of the labyrinth, he discovers that slaying them gains him experience towards higher stages of undead evolution—even ones with flesh! With this revelation in hand, Rentt obtains a new objective in his undeath: keep evolving in the hope of eventually becoming a vampire, the highest form of undead that is nearly indistinguishable from human beings.
Despite being forced to hide his past identity and monstrous nature under an unremovable mask, Rentt manages to return to a semblance of his former life. Granted shelter by Lorraine Vivier, an elite researcher and retired adventurer, Rentt assumes her surname and starts over from scratch as a rookie.
Determined to pursue his childhood dream and become a mithril-class adventurer, Rentt must be cautious not to disclose his new bodily circumstances, lest the adventurers’ guild seek to exterminate the monster he has become.
A trailer for The Unwanted Undead Adventurer English dub has not been released (it’s Crunchyroll. What do you expect?), but here is the official trailer for the Japanese language original.
