Tale of bands competing in world of humans, androids

A live-streamed presentation for Noriyasu Agematsu, RUCCA, and Elements Garden's Technoroid multimedia project debuted a promotional video on Saturday. The video announces the main staff for the anime and the character roles for the previously teased main cast. Saturday's presentation also announced the anime's Technoroid Overmind title and 2022 television broadcast, as well as the game's Technoroid Unison Heart title and early 2022 smartphone release.


The story of "wretched, beautiful androids" is set on the entertainment tower Babel, the new source of hope for humanity after climate change has submerged the world underwater. Several unique musical units compete to rise to the top of Babel, by moving the hearts of both humans and androids with their performances.

Ka Hee Im (episode director on (Aikatsu Stars!, Aikatsu Friends!, Sonny Boy, Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon) is directing the anime at Doga Kobo, and Ai Yoshimura (director on Blue Spring Ride, Dance with Devils, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU) is supervising. Ayumi Sekine (IDOLiSH7, Makura no Danshi, The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window) is in charge of the series scripts, and Saori Sakiguchi (number24) is designing the characters based on the original designs by LAM (takt op. Destiny).

Elements Garden (music composer for Uta no Prince Sama, Symphogear franchises) and RUCCA (theme song lyrics for ID: INVADED, Bloom Into You) are composing the music, and Yukio Nagasaki is directing the sound. LAM and Katō's Rai-Rai Public Company, Ltd. created the title and logo, and Logic & Magic is producing the CG.

The cast includes:

KNoCC

  • Kazuki Ura as Cobalt
  • Satoi Shibuya as Chrom
  • Hiromu Mineta as Kei
  • kayto as Neon

Stand-Alone

  • Makoto Furukawa as Kite
  • Keigo Hagiya as Light
  • Gakuto Kajiwara as Night

Mechanicametallica

  • Junya Enoki as Silve
  • Takeo Ōtsuka as Auru
  • Akito Sugibayashi as Lana
  • Shugo Nakamura as Zin

The first songs are KNoCC's "Knocking' On x Lockin' On," Stand-Alone's "Not Standing Alone," and Mechanicametallica's "Metallicholic."

Before co-creating this new project, Noriyasu Agematsu was the series creator of Uta no Prince-sama, Symphogear and Wild Arms. Cyber Agent, Avex Pictures, and Elements Garden are producing the project. Doga Kobo is producing the anime part of the franchise, and WonderPlanet Inc. is developing the game in the franchise.

Original character designer LAM drew the teaser visual pictured below for the project.
