Dan-Katsu Drops a Teaser PV With Animation, MindaRyn OP and Four New Heroines

I keep a soft spot for isekai stories that actually love being games, and Dan-Katsu just fed that itch hard.

The official site for Game Sekai Tensei Dan-Katsu (the long title fans shorten to Dan-Katsu) dropped a teaser PV built from real animation, not just stills. It opens on hardcore player Zephyrus losing his save data for the legendary dungeon-job game Dungeon Shukatsu no Susume, then flips into pure joy once he wakes up inside that same world. Over it all sits MindaRyn’s opening theme Play the Play, which already sounds like the kind of track I will have on loop once January 2027 hits.

Same day, the cast for the four heroines who orbit Zephyrus finally landed:

• Hanna (Ayaka Nanase) — childhood friend aiming to be an alchemist
• Sierra (Kotone Izumi) — cool shield-talent noble
• Lana (Hikaru Iida) — royal princess chasing a Saint job
• Ester (Chihaya Asakura) — Lana’s calm guardian knight

Yuto Uemura already voices Zephyrus. LINKL PLANET handles the ending theme My Life Story. Direction is Nagisa Miyazaki at STUDIO MASSKET, with scripts by Yuji Kobayashi, adapting Kaede Nishikigi’s TO Books light novel.

If you have ever wanted an isekai where the protagonist’s power is “I already cleared this game for 8,000 hours,” this teaser is your invitation. January cannot come soon enough.
