Pony Canyon started streaming a new promotional video for Caligula, the TV anime adaptation of FuRyu's The Caligula Effect game, on Friday. The video features Chiharu Sawashiro and Shunsuke Takeuchi's opening song "Paradigm Box."
The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX on April 8 and will also air on YTV, BS-Fuji, and AT-X. Additionally, the show will stream on over 20 different services in Japan. The series is listed with 12 episodes.
In the original game's story, written by Tadashi Satomi, a virtual idol known as μ performs songs input by users and gains self-awareness by being exposed to the users' bitter feelings and dissatisfaction with reality. Wishing to save humanity—which it believes is constantly suffering—it lures people into a virtual world called Mobius with its songs.
