The video reveals more cast members, theme song artists, and the January 4 television premiere date for the anime.

The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX, BS Asahi, TV Aichi, and Yomiuri TV on January 4. The anime will also stream on U-NEXT, Anime Hōdai, and other streaming services, but the announcement did not reveal the streaming premiere dates.
GRANRODEO performs the anime's opening theme song "GO GO PARADISE!!," which the above video also previews. Takuma Terashima performs the ending theme song "Ashita Tenki ni Naare."
The anime stars (name romanizations are not confirmed):

- Takuma Terashima as Shiu, a legend in the torture world
- Takuma Nagatsuka as Mikke, a new hire who is cute and energetic
- Yōhei Azakami as Hugh, a new hire who is a serious and kind-hearted university student
The dark workplace comedy manga takes place in a world where murder and torture are legal and numerous "torture contract companies" exist. Cero and Shiu work part time for the "Spirytus" torture company, which is known for treating its employees well and only targeting bad people. Two new part time hires — Mikke and Hugh — also join the company, and the four enjoy their torture-working life.
The manga launched on Hakusensha's Young Animal Web service in December 2022. Hakusensha published the sixth volume on June 27, and will publish the seventh volume on December 25.
