Crunchyroll has announced that the upcoming anime adaptation of PSYREN will premiere on the platform this October.

“One day, high schooler Ageha Yoshina picks up a mysterious ‘red phone card’ left behind in a public telephone booth.

A few days later, his childhood friend and classmate, Sakurako Amamiya—who possessed the same card—suddenly vanishes without a trace. In search of her, Ageha finds himself drawn into the rumors surrounding a nationwide string of mysterious disappearances, said to be the work of a secret organization known only as ‘Psyren.’

When he accesses the group, a deadly game begins—one that will change his fate forever.”
