Synopsis
"Deliver the brain of a wanted illegal Somadia criminal to the police. Their condition—dead or alive—doesn't matter."

The year is 2099. Humanity has conquered injuries and disease through the advancement of Somadia, a revolutionary artificial body technology. However, with progress comes crime—Somadia-enhanced individuals possess abilities far beyond those of ordinary humans, and illegal modifications have fueled a surge in violent offenses.

To combat these threats, the government establishes the Bounty Hunter System, allowing registered civilians to track and eliminate wanted criminals in exchange for hefty rewards.

In this dystopian world, Ubu Kamigoori makes a living as a bounty hunter, hunting down criminals who abuse Somadia technology. But when she returns home from a job one night, she finds herself face-to-face with Mr. Elegance—a man from her past with unfinished business. From that moment on, her fate begins to spiral out of control.

Amid the scent of gunpowder and the hum of machinery, a high-stakes cybernetic suspense action story begins!

I have my fingers crossed very tightly for a swift international release after the Japanese premiere. Seeing a new project made by Yasuomi Umetsu on a big screen would be amazing. :D

I hope we will get another trailer released soon.

A bit of a shame we didn't get a new trailer. I really hope Aniplex doesn't fuck this up and does a global release for it.
