[Translation] A new sensation full-fledged period drama animation begins. The fleeting youth of young people living in a tumultuous era will be depicted with careful detail and a fresh interpretation as an original TV animation. The script is written by Toyo Narui, a playwright who founded the theater company Caramel Box and has handled numerous popular stage productions, including the ‘Tachikawa Jinsuke Series,’ such as the play ‘The Ones Who Inherit the Wind’, which has received strong support from both theater fans and history enthusiasts. The music is created by Shigeru Kishida, known as the vocalist/guitarist of the rock band Quruli, who will be composing for a TV animation for the first time, enhancing the world of the work. Furthermore, the director is Tomohiro Kawamura, who has created beautiful visuals using 3DCG in theatrical animations like ‘GAMBA: Gamba and Friends,’ teaming up with Aniplex, Live2D, and Drive to take on a completely new visual expression by merging Live2D and cel animation techniques. Shinsengumi— This is their story, which indeed existed on that day, at that time. [Story] In June of the 3rd year of the Bunkyū era, a soldier with amnesia is brought to the Mibu Rōshi Group's barracks in Kyoto. The one who reached out to him was Soji Okita, a junior member of the Mibu Rōshi Group. 'Your name is Tachikawa Jinsuke.' Thus begins the daily life of Jinsuke, who has lost his memory as a soldier. Unintentionally, amid the confusion of the Bakumatsu, the Mibu Rōshi Group—the Shinsengumi—gradually increases its presence, and Jinsuke and the others are engulfed by the tides of turmoil. And when Jinsuke regains all of his memories, the world will undergo a significant transformation.
