Funimation Announces English Dub Acquisition Of “Listeners” ; Discord Nitro Users Get Access

In related news, Funimation has announced the acquisition for the streaming rights of Listeners that will also have an English dub adaptation and will premiere sometime in April.
From MAPPA (Terror in Resonance, Yuri!!! on ICE), Listeners takes place in a world where the entire idea of music vanishes from existence. The story follows Echo Rec (Ayumu Murase), a young teen who comes across μ (Rie Takahashi), a girl who, oddly enough, has an auxiliary port on her body. Together, they’ll work to rock the foundation of society and bring music back to the world.
Jin (MEKAKUCITY ACTORS, Kagerou Daze), Dai Sato (Cowboy Bebop, Eureka Seven, Samurai Champloo) and Taichi Hashimoto are listed as creators of the series, while Hiroaki Andou (Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle) will serve as director, and Kisuke Koizumi (Dororo, All Out!!) as sound director. Sato will also serve as series composer.
Hi Ashley, thank you so much for reading and we love the feedback. Note that on that day we had 14th posts go up and only ten posts show on the front page, so it's possible the preview had already been archived by the time you got to it. One recommendation would be to add our RSS feed to your favorite news aggregator service like Feedly, this way you get all of the latest posts!
