FX Senshi Kurumi-chan anime sparks discussion over intense themes

The new anime series ‘FX Senshi Kurumi-chan’, which premiered on October 1, 2026, has gained significant attention for its heavy themes and intense opening. Based on the manga by Demunyan, the story follows Kurumi Fukuga, a university student who decides to enter the world of foreign exchange (FX) trading to recover the 20 million yen lost by her late mother.

The series has sparked discussion online due to its realistic and grim cautionary disclaimer, which warns viewers that FX is a high-risk product that can lead to losses exceeding collateral. Viewers have also highlighted the intense vocal performance by Mamiko Noto, who voices Kurumi’s mother, and the unique lyrics of the opening and ending themes, which incorporate financial terminology and various foreign currencies.
