Sentai Filmworks announced on Wednesday that it has licensed the upcoming anime series Anonymous Noise (Fukumenkei Noise). The company plans to stream the series as a simulcast, and to eventually release the series on home video.

Sentai Filmworks describes the story:
Blessed with a beautiful voice, Nino only sings for one reason: to be found. Nino finds herself looking for two boys who left her without reason, Momo and Yuzu. By chance, all three of them end up in the same high school, and Nino discovers that her singing isn't in vain. As they rediscover their bonds, the group realizes that time changes many things, and sometimes certain things can't be repaired.
Hideya Takahashi (Keijo!!!!!!!!, Fantasista Stella) is directing the series at Brains Base (Natsume's Book of Friends, Durarara!!). Deko Akao (Snow White with the Red Hair, Noragami) is in charge of the series composition, and Mariko Itou is designing the characters for animation and serving as chief animation director. Sadesper Records (NARASAKI / Watchman) is in charge of the music.
The cast includes:
- Saori Hayami as Nino
- Daiki Yamashita as Yuzu
