I did what I’m best at to the best of my ability alongside many familiar faces. A lot of exciting pictures have surfaced. I hope you enjoy what we’ve created!
- “While it will definitely feature exhilarating action and beautiful background art, I hope that I can also take everyone to even more unexpected places this time. I can’t wait to share it with everyone!” he added.
- According to Netflix’s YouTube description for the teaser, Tokyo is cut off from the outside world, becoming “a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families, acting as a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building.”
- “Hibiki, a young ace known for his dangerous play style, makes a reckless move one day and plummets into the gravity-bending sea. His life is saved by Uta, a girl with mysterious powers. The pair then hear a unique sound audible only to them.”
- As the story follows protagonists Hibiki and Uta, the description poses the question: “Why did Uta appear before Hibiki? Their encounter leads to a revelation that will change the world.”
