Manga readers have been hyped about this one for a while. Tank Chair<\/em> \u2014 the action series about a wheelchair-bound combatant who refuses to be anything but the most dangerous person in any room \u2014 is getting its anime adaptation from Polygon Pictures, premiering October 4, 2026<\/strong> on Tokyo MX.<\/p>\n\n

Based on Manabu Yashiro’s manga serialised in Monthly Shonen Sirius (Kodansha), Tank Chair<\/em> follows Nagi Taira, a young man who takes on enemies from a custom combat wheelchair \u2014 the Tank Chair. The tagline says it all: \u5ea7\u3057\u3066\u3001\u6700\u5f37<\/em>. Seated, the strongest.<\/p>\n\n

Polygon Pictures Steps Up<\/h2>\n\n

The studio choice is a deliberate one. Polygon Pictures has built their name on action-heavy titles with precise visual execution \u2014 Ajin: Demi-Human<\/em>, Knights of Sidonia<\/em>, Drifting Dragons<\/em> \u2014 and Tank Chair’s central mechanic, with combat choreography built around a wheelchair in motion, benefits from exactly the kind of CG animation discipline Polygon brings. Fight sequences in the trailer already show the Chair being used as both a weapon and a vehicle in ways that feel mechanically grounded.<\/p>\n\n

Cast<\/h2>\n\n
    \n
  • Koki Uchiyama<\/strong> as Nagi Taira<\/li>\n
  • Minori Fujidera<\/strong> as Shizuka<\/li>\n
  • Saori Hayami<\/strong> as Touko Kurosaka<\/li>\n
  • Gakuto Kajiwara<\/strong> as Naozumi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Uchiyama brings the kind of intensity this role needs \u2014 he handles emotionally complex protagonists well, and Nagi is not a simple character. Hayami as Touko and Kajiwara as Naozumi round out what looks like a strong core cast from the key visual.<\/p>\n\n

    SiM on the Opening \u2014 This Is Going to Be Loud<\/h2>\n\n

    Opening theme: “DALALA”<\/strong> by SiM. The Yokohama punk-metal outfit known for their hard-hitting anime theme work is a dead-on match for Tank Chair’s energy \u2014 aggressive premise, aggressive sound. If the OP hits as hard as it looks in the trailer, this one is going straight into the gym playlist.<\/p>\n\n

    Ending theme: “SYNC”<\/strong> by Daoko, bringing an atmospheric, introspective counterweight to balance out each episode’s intensity.<\/p>\n\n
