Ahead of the April broadcast launch of the tech-thriller anime series Your Forma, Remow has released the show’s non-credit opening and launched a new chibi title on YouTube.
The Your Forma opener features a one-chorus version of “GRIDOUT,” performed by yama, alongside action scenes of protagonists Echika (voiced by Kana Hanazawa) and Harold (Kensho Ono) — two investigators who dive into people’s memories for clues to solve the case. Additional characters spotlighted include Bigga (Nao Toyama), Totoki (Aya Endo) and Fokine (Nobuhiko Okamoto).
Synopsis: In 1992, a pandemic of viral encephalitis shook the world. The medical technology that saved humanity evolved into “Your Forma” — an invasive information device implanted into the brain. In this world where every sight, sound, and even emotion is recorded, investigating major crimes means diving into the collective data, a job reserved for special detectives called “Cyber Inspector.”
Echika Hieda, a prodigious “Cyber Inspector” assigned at an astonishingly young age, stands isolated by her exceptional talent. Her newly assigned partner is Harold, a blonde, blue-eyed humanoid “Amicus.” Together, this unrivaled duo will expose every hidden secret.
Unlike the main show’s heavy atmostphere of suspense, the mini-anime Petit Forma: Electrocrime Bureau Journal offers a relaxed window into the everyday lives of super-deformed versions of Echika (Hanazawa) and Harold (Ono). Check out the just-launched premiere epsiode below!
