It has been announced that "SI-VIS: The Sound of Heroes," a new original TV anime with a "MUSIC x HERO" theme by Aniplex and Sony Music, will be broadcast every Sunday morning at 9:30 on Fuji TV and other channels starting from October 5th. A teaser video featuring the song "MELODEA" by the in-game unit "SI-VIS" has been released on YouTube. The announcement was made at the online event "Aniplex Online Fest 2025," held on September 13th.
The film tells the story of the mixed-gender unit "SI-VIS," a group of artist heroes who save the world with music. "SI-VIS" is a mixed-gender artist unit formed around leader YOSUKE, and has taken the domestic and international music scene by storm with their incredible singing and performance skills. However, their true identities are heroes who fight against a mysterious disaster that threatens to destroy the world, inspiring people with their live performances and gathering their power to fight. Because it appears to be a live performance on the surface, no one knows that they are heroes...or so the story goes.
Fumiaki Maruto, who has worked on "How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend" and "WHITE ALBUM 2," is in charge of series composition and scriptwriting, while popular illustrator Hidari, who has worked on "The Magnificent Kotobuki" and "Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia," is in charge of character design. The main characters will be played by a stellar cast of voice actors including Daisuke Namikawa, Ayane Sakura, Akari Kito, Nobunaga Shimazaki, and Soma Saito. "SI-VIS" will be sung by the vocalists of Sony Music.
