In an exciting announcement, Sony Music revealed that the hip-hop group Umeda Cypher will be performing the new ending theme song, “Floor Killer,” for the television anime adaptation of Petit Depotto’s sci-fi social deduction RPG, Gnosia. This revelation came in the eighth episode of the anime, which aired on Sunday.
In addition to the new ending theme, Aniplex has also released a creditless video for the new ending sequence, giving fans a sneak peek at the visuals accompanying the song.
The anime, which made its debut on October 11, is broadcasting on several major networks, including Tokyo MX, BS11, Tochigi TV, Gunma TV, TV Aichi, MBS, and AT-X. For those who prefer streaming, the series is available on ABEMA and d Anime Store in Japan. Internationally, Crunchyroll is streaming the series in both Japanese and with an English dub.
The current opening theme song, “Bake no Kawa feat. Kobo Kanaeru, Kasane Teto, Giga & TeddyLoid,” is performed by MAISONdes. Previously, Ling Tosite Sigure performed the ending theme song “Loo% Who%.”
The anime is directed by Kazuya Ichikawa, known for his work on Burning Kabaddi and The World Ends with You the Animation. He is helming the project at Domerica. Jukki Hanada, renowned for his work on the Love Live! School idol project franchise and Sound! Euphonium, is overseeing and writing the series scripts. Arisa Matsuura, who worked on Romantic Killer, is adapting KOTORI’s original character designs for animation. The music is composed by Hideyuki Fukasawa, who has worked on Flowers of Evil and Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works.
The original game, Gnosia, was initially released for the PlayStation Vita in Japan in 2019. It was later ported to the Nintendo Switch in 2020, and Playism released it digitally for the Nintendo Switch in North America in 2021. The game is a thrilling social deduction experience set on a drifting spaceship, where players must identify and eliminate the mysterious and deadly Gnosia while avoiding being deceived themselves.
Playism describes the game as follows:
Let’s walk and talk. Can you get up? The Gnosia lie. Pretending to be human, they’ll get in close, trick and deceive, and then eradicate each person in the vicinity from the universe, one victim at a time. The crew of a drifting spaceship, facing off against a mysterious and deadly threat known as the “Gnosia” and having no idea who among them is really the enemy, formulate a desperate plan for survival. The most suspicious among them will be put into “cold sleep” one by one, in an effort to completely rid the ship of Gnosia. However, it is almost impossible to tell whether each person put into cold sleep was really Gnosia – or simply a poor, unfortunate scapegoat, sacrificed by the Gnosia for their own survival. Can the humans emerge victorious? Or is mankind doomed…?
The game was launched for PC via Steam in January 2022 and then made its worldwide debut for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in December 2023.
