Yuuki Hayashi(Haikyu!!, Robotics;Notes, Death Parade) is composing the show's music.
Boom Boom Satellites will perform the opening theme song, and Sangatsu no Phantasia will perform the ending theme.
The anime's setting is a fictional Japanese city named Sugomori City, which is built on reclaimed land. But as the years go by, the city's population is decreasing. One day, Sonosaki tells her classmate Katsuhira: "You have been selected to be a Kiznaiver." The Kizuna System, which allows Katsuhira to share his wounds, connects him to the classmates whose lives and personalities completely differ from his. The Kizuna System is an incomplete system for the implementation of world peace that connects people through wounds. All those who are connected to this system are called Kiznaivers. When one Kiznaiver is wounded, the system divides and transmits the wound among the other Kiznaivers.
The keyword for the series is "kizuna" (connection). The title itself is a play on "kizuna" and "naive."
The series will premiere in April on Tokyo MX, ABC Asahi, and BS11, but the staff will host an advance screening of the first two episodes on March 27 in Tokyo. Crunchyroll will stream the series.
