Production and release

edit

The mixed-media project by Noriyasu Agematsu, RUCCA, CyberAgent, Avex Pictures, and Elements Garden was announced on November 2, 2021,[3] with a mobile game developed by WonderPlanet titled Technoroid Unison Heart (テクノロイド ユニゾンハート, Tekunoroido Yunizon Hāto) released on January 21, 2022 for Android and iOS, as well as an anime television series by Doga Kobo titled Technoroid Overmind (テクノロイド オーバーマインド, Tekunoroido Ōbāmaindo). Ka Hee Im is directing the series, with Ai Yoshimura supervising, Ayumi Sekine penning the series' scripts, Saori Sakiguchi designing the characters based on the original designs by LAM, and Elements Garden and RUCCA composing the series' music.[1] It was initially scheduled for July 2022,[4] but was later delayed as Doga Kobo was temporarily closed due to an increase of COVID-19 infections among its staff members.[5] The series aired from January 5 to March 30, 2023, on TV Tokyo and other networks.[6] The opening theme song is "Love No Hate" by KNoCC, while the ending theme song is "Invisible -one heart-" by KNoCC and Stand-Alone.[7] Crunchyroll licensed the series.[8]

A manga adaptation by Ageha Saotome was also serialized on the AlphaPolis service on January 5 to November 2, 2023.[2] Its chapters were compiled into a single tankōbon volume on November 30, 2023.[9]
