Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- Rhyme Anima
Aired: 2020
A TV anime produced by A-1 Pictures, based on the music-driven character rap project produced by King Record's EVIL LINE RECORDS label, launched in September 2017. Set in an alternate history where warfare has been eliminated, the world is governed by the female-led Chuoku party "Party of Words," and all conflicts are settled through rap battles using special microphones called "Hypnosis Mics" that affect the human psyche. Men are divided into the Ikebukuro, Yokohama, Shibuya, and Shinjuku divisions, competing in Division Rap Battles for territory. Four teams clash with the power of words: Ichiro Yamada's "Buster Bros!!!," Samatoki Aohitsugi's "MAD TRIGGER CREW," Ramuda Amemura's "Fling Posse," and Jakurai Jinguji's "Matenro." 13 episodes featuring Subaru Kimura, Shinichiro Asanuma, Yusuke Shirai, and Sho Hayami.
