Bandai Namco Filmworks has released the second main promotional trailer for the upcoming television anime adaptation of Manabu Yashiro's post-apocalyptic action manga Tank Chair. Alongside the preview footage, the production team locked in an official broadcast premiere date of October 4.
The animated series adapts the premise of a former top-tier assassin named Nagi Taira, who fell into a comatose state after protecting his younger sister Shizuka. Wheelchair-bound and unresponsive to normal stimuli, Nagi reactivates his lethal reflexes whenever confronted with overt killing intent, sending both siblings on a collision course with dangerous hitmen in hopes of restoring his mind.
