Fans of intelligent sci-fi with emotional depth and stunning android characters will find BEATLESS an unmissable watch.

Set in Japan in the year 2105, this story unfolds in a world where humanoid androids known as hiE have become deeply integrated into everyday society. Functioning as both assistants and laborers, hiE handle all manner of tasks on behalf of humans—whether mundane or impossible for people to manage alone. While most view hiE as nothing more than sophisticated objects, Arato Endou is a kind-hearted teenager who finds himself feeling genuine empathy toward them, setting him apart from his friends Kengo Suguri and Ryou Kaidai, who harbor a strong dislike for hiE. One fateful night, a strange phenomenon involving mysterious falling cherry blossoms triggers chaos among hiE and machines throughout the city. Caught in the middle of this mayhem, Arato's path crosses with Lacia, an enigmatic hiE whose origins and purpose remain shrouded in mystery. What kind of relationship will form between this ordinary boy and the unknown android?
