An official website for the new anime from Studio Trigger named Kiznaiver has been launched last Saturday after the animation studio unveiled it. It is a new original television anime from Studio Trigger which is written by Mari Okada and directed by Hiroshi Kobayashi. This is also Kobayashi’s directorial debut with the animation studio with Shirow Miwa drawing the original character designs and Mai Yoneyama adapting the original character designs into animation.
Kiznaiver Plot:
The anime’s setting is a fictional Japanese city named Sugomori City. One day, Sonosaki tells her classmate Katsuhira: “You have been selected to be a Kiznaiver.” The Kizuna System, which allows Katsuhira to share his wounds, connects him to the classmates whose lives and personalities completely differ from his.
The Kizuna System is an incomplete system for the implementation of world peace that connects people through wounds. All those who are connected to this system are called Kiznaivers. When one Kiznaiver is wounded, the system divides and transmits the wound among the other Kiznaivers.
Sugomori City is built on reclaimed land. But as the years go by, the city’s population is decreasing. The story is set in this town where Katsuhira and the others live.
