In a post-apocalyptic future that has been torn apart by shadowy creatures known as the Earless, humanity's heroes are the Players, who pilot mecha known as Equipment to battle their inhuman enemies while earning fame and fortune to boot. Echo is a young tech-head who dreams of working amongst the Players and their Equipment, going so far as to build a makeshift mecha of his own, but he has long since resigned himself to life in the destitute scrap-heaps that cover so much of the world, now. That is, until he discovers an amnesiac named μ (or “Mu”) who has a mechanical port in her back that is the telltale sign of a Player. The pair become fast friends, and they vow to use their skills to fight for the world and defeat The Earless.

Where it came from
Listeners was produced by the animation studio Slow Curve and released in 2020 as an original science fiction television series. Conceived as a high-concept project blending mechanical aesthetics with music-driven themes, the series explores a post-apocalyptic world where mysterious entities known as 'Earless' are fought by pilots of combat mechs called 'Equipment' through the power of sound.
The series was designed to emphasize its connection to the rock and roll subculture, with character designs and mecha visual cues drawing heavily from musical instruments and classic synthesizer hardware. Upon its release, the show was met with a nuanced reception, noted by critics for its ambitious artistic vision and bold stylistic choices, even as it navigated the challenges of finding a broad audience within the crowded landscape of contemporary seasonal anime.
