Synopsis
The story takes place in 2045 , in a world where singing is forbidden. In this setting, the protagonist Seria Aiba (voiced by Mitoko Fujidera ) was born with the gift of seeing and touching spirits. Her life changes when she is possessed by Cleopatra (played by Rina Hidaka ), one of the legendary "Great Ghosts" freed from the afterlife.
Thus, the visual teaser highlights Sereia and Cleopatra side by side. The first PV teaser , already available on YouTube, features the song “ RES∞NALIST ”. It is described as a “song of possession and rebirth” symbolizing the spirit of the series.
