Mika Pikazo's 'Level Robochika' TV Anime Announced, Set in 2050 Shibuya
Production of a TV anime adaptation of 'Level Robochika', a near-future sci-fi project by illustrator Mika Pikazo, was announced on June 24. The series is set in 2050 Shibuya, where a technology called Meta Reality (MR) has merged the real and virtual worlds. The anime will tell a new story original to the adaptation while inheriting the worldview of the original work. Pikazo first released 'Level Robochika' as a doujinshi in 2017. In 2019, screenwriter Ryo Yoshigami, known for the 'PSYCHO-PASS' series, joined to produce 'Level Robochika Episode #β'. Two novel versions, 'RE:BEL ROBOTICA 0' and 'RE:BEL ROBOTICA' by Takuto Mikumo, were published by Shinchosha in 2022. A newly drawn visual by Pikazo depicts the mysterious girl Lily reaching out with a smile. Pikazo commented that the story is about people living in a world where happiness is taken for granted. At Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles from July 2 to 5, a special booklet for the anime will be distributed, and a teaser PV using in-production footage will be screened. Pikazo is also the key visual illustrator for the event and will appear in panel events and at a booth.
