Playing throughout the trailer is the opening theme song, “Running In My Head” by MIYAVI. Additionally, the series was announced to be screened in theatres in four parts, starting May 2024.

Chiba Hiroyuki (High School DxD) takes the helm as Director of Photography, Sakamoto Kumiko (Dr. Stone) masters the editing, and Kawai Kenji (Ranma ½, Mob Psycho 100) delivers the unforgettable soundtrack.
Heading the project at Sunrise Studio is Director Ohashi Yoshimitsu (Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans), who also directed the original series. The screenplay is written by Kimura Noboru (Solo Levelling, Kemono Jihen), and new character design drafts created by CLAMP, re-designed for animation by Kimura Takahiro (Blood+)and Shimamura Hidekazu (Yu-Gi-Oh!).
