The TV anime adaptation of the mystery novel "Matakoro" (original title: "Mata Korosarete shimatta no desu ne, Tantei-sama") by Teniwoha begins on April 2. Ahead of the premiere, the main trailer, main visual, and details about the opening song have been released.
The story revolves around high school detective Sakuya Tsuitsuki, who possesses a special trait: even if he is murdered, he always returns to life. He uses this ability to solve various difficult cases. The main trailer offers glimpses into the dynamic between Sakuya and his assistant Liltear. It begins with a scene where Sakuya, lying on Liltear's lap, awakens from an eternal sleep and casually says "Tadaima" ("I'm home"), to which she gently replies: "Okaerinasaimase. You've been murdered again, Detective." Additional scenes are also shown, such as at the crime scene, where the investigating inspector Kunta Manoroki exclaims in shock "He's alive!" while Sakuya responds completely calmly, "I'm fine."
The main visual shows Sakuya and Liltear in the upper part, while below, more characters can be seen: the curious up-and-coming actress Yuriu Haigamine, the detective duo from England, Belka and Fido (consisting of a dog and his assistant), the extravagant and wealthy thief Shaldina, and the aforementioned Inspector Manoroki.
The opening song is titled "Stardust Eureka" and comes from Naohiro Hayashi's solo project "Jigen Soshiki Yodaka." Hayashi is responsible for lyrics, composition, and arrangement, while sound production is handled by Tomoya Tabuchi (known from UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, THE KEBABS, Q-MHz). Hayashi comments on the song: "To bring the truth to light, the protagonist literally crosses the boundary between life and death. I wanted to create a song that sits like a star above this strange story. But when it was finished, it resembled more of a red, eerie searchlight! Who does it illuminate? The culprit? The protagonist? Or perhaps 'you'? Shh, be quiet. Because the revelation is about to begin..." A snippet of the song can already be heard in the main PV.
The anime's first broadcast will be on April 2 at 25:58 (effectively April 3, 1:58 AM) on TBS and later on BS11. The animation is produced by Studio LIDENFILMS under the direction of Takashi Naoya.
