Listeners (2020)

In an eerie post-apocalyptic universe, where the melody of music is but a faint memory, humanity trembles in the shadow of the enigmatic entities known as the Miminashi, or the Earless. These haunting creatures cast a chilling veil of terror over the world, their origins and motivations shrouded in mystery. The last bastion of hope lies in the fearless "Players," skilled warriors who, through "Plugging In," can control formidable 'Equipment' combat mecha to counter the Earless menace. Our tale unfolds in the ramshackle town of Liverchester, a scrapheap society on the fringes of this desolate world. Here we meet Echo, a young boy whose admiration for the Players was ignited a decade ago, when he witnessed the iconic Jimi Stonefree's triumphant battle against the Miminashi. Now, Echo yearns to join their ranks and contribute to the fight against the Earless. Fate intervenes when Myu, a mysterious girl devoid of memories, appears in Echo's life. With an intriguingly empty audio input jack on her waist revealing her identity as a Player, Myu brings with her a whiff of the extraordinary. As the unlikely duo embarks on an exhilarating journey to unravel Myu's enigmatic origins, they find themselves entwined in a narrative that may well lead back to the legendary Jimi Stonefree. "Listeners" is a riveting saga of courage, mystery, and the power of music in a world silenced by fear. Echo and Myu's tale is an anthem of hope that resonates amidst the chilling silence, a melody that dares to defy the Earless terror.
