The video shows Echika Hieda in action alongside her android partner Harold Lucraft. The two investigators are shown in different settings. They are shown sitting at a table leisurely, going after suspects, and conducting brain dives into people's memories to solve important cases.

In addition, the opening video also gave fans a look at Bigga (voiced by Nao Touyama), Ui Totoki (voiced by Aya Endou), Ivan Lukich Fokine (voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto), and Darya (Ayaka Nanase).

Besides the non-credit opening video, the anime also launched its mini-anime "Petit Forma: Electrocrime Bureau Journal." The first episode features Kana Hanazawa as Echika Hieda and Kensho Ono as Harold Lucraft. Both characters can be seen standing in a studio.

Unlike the main anime, which is filled with intense suspense, the mini-anime is a relaxed spin-off that follows the everyday lives of SD versions of Echika Hieda, Harold Lucraft, and friends. The anime is short and easy to enjoy.

The anime is set in an alternate 2023 where Your Forma, a miraculous technology that invasively recorded everything a person experiences, was used to treat a massive outbreak. This development led to the advent of electronic investigators.

Echika Hieda was a brilliant electronic investigator. However, her partners were never able to keep up with her. That's when she partnered with a brilliant yet cheeky android named Harold Lucraft. The anime follows this unlikely duo as they team up to solve mysteries.
