An official website was launched on Wednesday to reveal that King Records' multimedia project Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle will get a TV anime adaptation. Subtitled Rhyme Anima, it will premiere in 2020. Staff behind the project will announce more information regarding the anime in March.

Synopsis
In a world where women now dominate the government, the creation and use of weapons is strictly forbidden. However, by no means has conflict been brought to an end; instead of weapons, war is waged through words. With the power of the "Hypnosis Mic," lyrics can affect one's opponent in various ways and cause real damage. Those in the divisions outside the women-only Chuou Ward thus use it for fierce rap battles as their weapon in the constant clash for territory. (Source: Tokyo Otaku Mode)

Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle is a 2.5D project that centers around six units who participate in rap battles. The voice actors of these characters also perform live at stage events and concerts.

I've always been interested in this franchise but never actually gone deep into it, just sorta read little bits of character lore and enjoyed fanart. I never actually knew what the context of the story was, and after reading the synopsis... THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT?! I had no idea...

Anyway, I look forward to the anime - especially seeing Samatoki.

Really didn't expect an anime adaptation at all considering they just released the two new divisions and their new albums so recently. We're too well fed by this franchise :') Can't wait to see them all animated!!

(PS: there's some mistake for the names of the members in dotsuitare hompo, it should be Sasara Nurude and Rei Amayado)

I'm so happy it's getting an anime. I didn't believe it would happen, but I'm happy to be proved wrong. I just hope some good studio will take care of it, cause I want to see my boys Ramuda and Sasara animated as beautifully as possible.
ChroNoiR Episode.0 is the best anime to ever exist

Kanae forever in my heart

So rap and an all-male cast, two things I absolutely don't wanna see in anime. Guess I'll pass on this one, everyone else have fun if this is your cup of tea.

Holy crap them bishies tho?!!!!!!!!!

By chance I saw IG story of a senpai that lived in Japan, there was posters of hypnosis mic at train station and my eyes quick to see them bishies (which I later learned the name of one of them as Ramuda). I did quick google and woah, I think I fell in love.

I'm not much into rap but the theme song is LIT.

I have my eyes on Fling Posse especially Gentarou and Ramuda!!!! Srlsy they are so beautiful?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, i'd rather watch only the animated rap battles instead of a full anime series lol. Heck, i'd rather watch an 8-mile style live action rap battle of them.

Their 3rd rap battle and the new 2 divisions (excluding the whattheirname all-girls division) are wack asf.
