During the “MAPPA 15th Anniversary Lineup Reveal” livestream on Friday, MAPPA officially announced that it is producing an anime adaptation of Naoki Fujita‘s manga Beat & Motion. The series is set to debut on Netflix in 2027. The announcement came with a teaser visual, a first trailer, a full staff list, and two lead voice cast members.
Synopsis
After a fateful night changes his life, Tatsuhiko posts a new animation on social media that quickly goes viral. His favorite musician, Nico, reaches out and invites him to collaborate on a music video — but when they meet in person, Tatsuhiko is stunned to realize that Nico is someone he recognizes from that very same night.
