Ani-One Asia Streams Ghost Concert: missing Songs Anime
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Ani-One Asia announced on Thursday that it will stream the Ghost Concert: missing Songs television anime in April. Ani-One Asia will announce more details on the stream at a later date.
The anime will premiere in Japan on April 5.
Ani-One Asia describes the anime:
The year is 2045—a world where singing has been forbidden. The creation and performance of music have been entirely taken over by a music application called "MiucS," replacing human touch. A young girl named Seria Aiba is out with her friends when she hears something that shouldn't exist: a singing voice. Following the sound, Seria encounters a "Ghost." Historical figures appearing from beyond this world—the "Great Ghosts." A group of spiritualists—"TERA." And then, it echoes—the "Possession Requiem." "This is the story of how I became a ghost."
Kadokawa stated the project is a new entry in the "song battle series" following the Symphogear franchise.
The anime will star Minori Fujidera as Seria Aiba, a female high school student who lives alone, and who has been able to see and touch spirits since she was young. The anime will also star Rina Hidaka as Cleopatra, the ancient Egyptian queen and a "Great Ghost" who is released from the realm of the dead and possesses Seria.
Noriyasu Agematsu is credited with the original story, and UNISON / Project MiucS is credited for the original work. Masato Jinbo (Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei!, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei Herz!, Restaurant to Another World) is directing the anime at ENGI and is also overseeing the series scripts. Masaaki Uikawa (Unnamed Memory chief animation director) is designing the characters. Elements Garden members Junpei Fujita, Seima Kondō, and Daisuke Horikawa are composing the music at Elements Garden / Heart Company.
