The official website for the television anime adaptation of Satoshi Hase and redjuice's Beatless novel announced on Saturday that TrySail will perform the opening theme song "Truth." for the anime's second cour (quarter of a year). MARiA and toku of GARNiDELiA, the pair that performed the first opening theme song, are returning to write and compose the new song.
Sora Amamiya, who is playing Methode in the anime, is a member of TrySail along with Momo Asakura and Shiina Natsukawa. The group released its debut single in May 2015.
The Beatless anime premiered on January 12 on MBS and TBS, and on January 13 on BS-TBS, and airs in the "Animeism" programming block. Amazon is exclusively streaming titles from the Animeism block to 200 countries through its Amazon Prime Video service.
Seiji Mizushima (Fullmetal Alchemist, Expelled from Paradise, Concrete Revolutio) is directing the anime at diomedéa. Tatsuya Takahashi (The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, Rewrite, Eromanga Sensei) and Go Zappa (Koihime Musō, A Bridge to the Starry Skies, Blend S) are in charge of series composition. Hiroko Yaguchi (Un-Go, Aikatsu!) is designing the characters based on redjuice's original designs. NARASAKI and kz (livetune) are composing the show's music.
Tokyo Otaku Mode serialized English translations of the novel in 2014, and it describes the novel:
With the introduction of an ultra-advanced AI that surpasses human intelligence, beings that mankind is yet to fully comprehend made from materials far too advanced for human technology begin coming into being. Lacia, an hIE equipped with a black coffin-shaped device, is one of these. In boy-meets-girl fashion, 17-year-old Arato Endo has a fateful encounter with the artificial Lacia. For what purpose were these artificial beings created? Amid questions regarding the coexistence of these artificial beings and humans, a 17-year-old boy makes a decision...
Hase serialized the novel in Newtype in 2012. The artist redjuice (Guilty Crown, The Empire of Corpses, Genocidal Organ, Harmony character designs) provided the illustrations for the original novel, and Wit Studio (Attack on Titan, The Ancient Magus' Bride) and animator Satoshi Kadowaki (chief animation director for Guilty Crown and Attack on Titan) provided "animation versions" of the illustrations for the English version.
