Technoroid Overmind drops new promo video, opening and ending theme songs revealed

Technoroid Overmind, a mixed-media TV anime project by Noriyasu Agematsu, RUCCA, and Elements Garden, was initially set to premiere in July 2022. However, due to the rapid increase of Covid-19 cases in Doga Kobo’s headquarters, the studio temporarily closed its doors. On October 29, Doga Kobo rescheduled Technoroid Overmind to January 5, 2023.

Technoroid Overmind recently dropped a new promo video that gives a brief glimpse of the dystopian world, centering on the Entertainment Tower Babel. The PV also revealed the series’ opening and ending theme songs.
