Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle – Rhyme Anima Anime Details
Ono Katsumi will be directing the show and studio A-1 Pictures will be producing the show. Here’s a brief synopsis of the show,
“In a world where women now dominate the government, weapons are prohibited in every form. However, by no means has the 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.”
