The upcoming anime series Shinsei Galverse has generated significant buzz with the release of its first trailer, revealing character voices and confirming its premiere date of June 25, 2025. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know about this exciting new project.
What is Shinsei Galverse?
Shinsei Galverse is an original anime project that blends nostalgic 90s anime aesthetics with contemporary storytelling. Described as a “90s-style anime for a new era,” the series is directed by Ayaka Ohira and produced by S.o.K. It originated from an NFT project featuring 8,888 unique “Gal” characters, which quickly gained popularity in the Web3 space. The anime aims to capture the spirit of the gyaru subculture, sci-fi cyberpunk themes, and NFT innovation.
Story and Themes
The story of Shinsei Galverse revolves around Zero, a cosmic being known as Galverse, who crash-lands on the war-torn planet Amatera with amnesia. Amidst a brutal conflict between the local resistance and the imperial Gevuran forces, Zero meets Ring, a charismatic young leader fighting to save the world. As Zero’s identity slowly awakens, she discovers she holds the key to something far greater than any one planet.
Shinsei Galverse is described as a high-energy, emotionally charged sci-fi anime inspired by 90s shoujo and sci-fi classics. It explores themes of struggle, pain, love, and the power of the “gal” mindset to overcome emotional turmoil and impossible odds. The series also touches on deeper messages of love, anti-violence, and true justice.
