Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of the Synduality project, I am thrilled to learn more about the upcoming second cour of the Synduality: Noir anime series. The release of the main trailer and key visual has given us a glimpse into what we can expect from the new season, and I am particularly excited about the new theme songs. The opening theme song, Aire, performed by ARCANA PROJECT, sounds incredibly catchy and energetic, and I can't wait to hear the full version. The ending theme song, Drifters, performed by STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION, also sounds promising, and I think it will perfectly complement the anime's dark and mysterious atmosphere.
Overall, I am very optimistic about the second cour of the Synduality: Noir anime series. The first season was a great start, and I believe that the new season will build upon its strengths and deliver even more exciting and engaging content. I am eagerly counting down the days until January 9, 2023, when the new season premieres, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for Kanata, Noir, and the rest of the cast.
