Muse India Streams Rumble Garanndoll Anime on YouTube
posted on by Adriana Hazra
The anime premiered in Japan in October 2021. Muse Asia streamed the anime in India as it sired in Japan. Crunchyroll added it in India in December 2022.
The story begins in 2019, just before the change in historical eras for Japan. A rift to another dimension suddenly opens in the skies above, revealing a "turnabout" alternate world called "Shinkoku Nippon." This parallel version of Japan maintained its militarism and remains stuck in the Showa era. Shinkoku Nippon invades our Japan with its "Genmu" gas weapons (on which our own modern weapons have no effect) and giant humanoid "Garan" weapons. The invaders immediately take over our government and all but conquer Japan. As a result, our Japan never ushers in the Reiwa era.
A decade later, our Japan has been revamped as Genkoku Nippon, a puppet state of Shinkoku Nippon. Under harsh censorship, the once thriving manga, anime, idol, and similar sub-cultures have completely died off ... or so it seemed. A secret society named Arahabaki (a Japanese anagram of Tokyo's sub-culture shopping district Akihabara) rises up to resist Shinkoku with Garanndoll weapons powered by "battery girls."
Masaomi Andō (School-Live!, Scum's Wish, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, Astra Lost in Space) directed the anime at the studio Lerche. Makoto Uezu (Scum's Wish, The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Kengan Ashura) oversaw the series scripts, Akio Watanabe (The Fruit of Grisaia, The Eden of Grisaia) was the original character designer, and Keiko Kurosawa (Astra Lost in Space, Scum's Wish) adapted the designs for animation. EGG FIRM produced the anime. Mia REGINA performed the anime's opening theme song "Fever Dreamer," while Aina Suzuki performed the ending theme song "Reverse-Rebirth."
The anime also has a manga adaptation by Left Hand that launched on Kadokawa's Comic Newtype website in October 2022 and has two total volumes.
