Aniplex has dropped the first trailer for the upcoming Gnosia anime, giving fans a glimpse into the adaptation of the critically acclaimed sci-fi social deduction game. Alongside the preview, the studio also confirmed key production staff and voice actors for the series, which is set to air in October 2025.
A First Look at the Mystery of Gnosia
The newly released trailer introduces the eerie and suspenseful world of Gnosia, where characters trapped aboard a spaceship must determine who among them is a Gnosia—a mysterious entity that eliminates one crew member each night. The survival of the group hinges on their ability to debate, analyze, and vote out the hidden threats before it’s too late.
The trailer offers a taste of the tension and paranoia that defines Gnosia, featuring snippets of heated discussions and haunting moments of uncertainty. As players of the original game know, no two loops are the same, and deception is key to survival.
Meet the Voices Behind the Characters
Aniplex also confirmed the initial voice cast, featuring a lineup of seasoned talents from various hit anime franchises. Here’s who will be voicing the first set of revealed characters:
- Gina – Asami Seto (Jujutsu Kaisen, Chihayafuru)
- Raqio – Hiroki Nanami (Shaman King (2021), Mashle)
- Setsu – Ikumi Hasegawa (Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon-, Bocchi the Rock!)
- SQ – Akari Kito (Demon Slayer, Genshin Impact)
- Yuri – Chika Anzai (Lycoris Recoil, Chaika: The Coffin Princess)
The full cast list is yet to be revealed, but the trailer teases silhouettes of additional crew members aboard the spaceship D.Q.O., suggesting that more character reveals are on the way.
A Talented Production Team at the Helm
The Gnosia anime is in experienced hands, with a team of industry veterans leading the adaptation:
- Director: Kazuya Ichikawa (The World Ends with You: The Animation)
- Scriptwriter & Series Composition: Jukki Hanada (Steins;Gate)
- Music Composer: Hideyuki Fukasawa (Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works)
The involvement of these well-known names brings high expectations for the quality of storytelling and visual execution in Gnosia.
What Fans Can Expect Moving Forward
While the trailer focuses on the premise and initial character introductions, it leaves plenty of room for speculation. A few things fans can look forward to:
- Additional trailers that will likely reveal more crew members and their respective voice actors.
- Insights into how the anime will handle Gnosia’s unique storytelling structure, which revolves around repeated loops and ever-changing scenarios.
- A potential expansion on the game’s lore and backstory, offering new layers to the narrative.
A Different Take on the Game’s Protagonist
In the original Gnosia game, players create their own protagonist and experience the events through their eyes. However, for the anime adaptation, the character Yuri will step into the role of the main protagonist, providing a fresh yet familiar perspective for both newcomers and longtime fans.
