South Korean webtoon studio REDICE STUDIO announced on Wednesday that the popular webtoon Overgeared will receive a TV anime adaptation under the title Tempal: Item no Chikara (Tempal ~The Power of Items~), scheduled to air this October.
Synopsis
Shin Youngwoo is a loser in the real world, barely making enough from odd jobs to pay off his debts. Even his family sees him as a gaming addict with no future. But when he logs into the popular VR game Satisfy, he becomes Grid, an equally ordinary warrior. His turning point comes when he accidentally discovers a book containing the knowledge of a legendary blacksmith, though using it will reset all his levels. Will Grid train his skills and gather allies to survive, or will he use god-tier items as a shortcut for everything?
