Wit Studio announced on Sunday a new original television anime titled LONA (Laboratory of Optics and Neural Analysis), helmed by director Takashi Katagiri, best known for the SPY×FAMILY Code: White film. The series is slated to premiere in spring 2027. Alongside the announcement, the studio released two teaser videos, three teaser visuals, and revealed the main cast and key staff.
Story
Set in a broken world in the not-so-distant future, humanity is confronted with a terrifying new crisis:
“We’re being attacked by humans who should be dead.”
The government turns to a specialized organization for answers — the Laboratory of Optics and Neural Analysis, known simply as LONA. Researcher Ao and her apprentice Sango set out to unravel the mystery by analyzing the brains of the deceased. What do people think about in their final moments, and what memories do they leave behind? Countless recollections are etched into neural circuits — but what did they truly see in those deepest depths?
