Re:Creators Releases First TV Ad Featuring Opening Theme

Re:Creators, the new original television anime from the mind of Rei Hiroe, released its first commercial video yesterday. Unlike many anime series, which are adaptations from an original manga, Re:Creators is the other way around, already having a manga adaptation being created from it. The new video not only shows off the beautiful animation from the upcoming show, but also gives a taste of the opening theme song as well. The song is titled "gravityWall" by SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]: Tielle & Gemie.

This trailer is following another promo video released last week, the main cast and character designs from the show was also revealed. You can see previews of all the new upcoming characters in the gallery below.

The website for the show describes the original story as the following:

"Humans have created many stories. Joy, sadness, anger, deep emotion. Stories shake our emotions, and fascinate us. However, these are only the thoughts of bystanders. But what if the characters in the story have "intentions"? To them, are we god-like existences for bringing their story into the world? Our world is changed. Mete out punishment upon the realm of the gods. In Re:CREATORS, everyone becomes a Creator."
