Aniplex has released a main trailer for the Gnosia TV anime adaptation, previewing more of the space thriller’s cast and paranoia as well as its newly announced theme songs. Also revealed were an October 11 JST (effectively October 12 at 12AM JST) premiere date and a key visual.
The theme songs are MAISONdes feat. Kobo Kanaeru, Kasane Teto, Giga & TeddyLoid‘s “Bake no Kawa” (opening) and Ling Toshite Shigure‘s “Loo% Who%” (ending).
Gnosia is based on the sci-fi social deduction thriller video game by Petit Depotto, which was originally released in 2019 for PS Vita before being ported to other platforms like Nintendo Switch, Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Microsoft Store. Nintendo Store describes the game as such:
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 rid the ship of Gnosia.
Gnosia is a Sci-Fi Social Deduction RPG in which you will engage in discussion with a variety of unique characters, with the aim of identifying the Gnosia among the group. Players will have to use what information they can gather during the discussions to ascertain whom they think is Gnosia and then vote to put them into cold sleep. As you progress, your abilities will improve – but so will those of the crew.
As the numbers of crew members, Gnosia, and various “roles” increase, it will become increasingly difficult to determine who is telling the truth. Work in collaboration with or against other crew members to ensure your survival until the end.
