Gothicmade: Hana no Utame

* An original project, which marked the directorial debut of designer and manga creator Nagano Mamoru (Five Star Stories) and the 65th anniversary of Kadokawa's founding. Nagano also conceived, wrote, storyboarded, and animated the project. On a tiny colony world named Carmine, young women known as Songstresses inherit the generation memories of those who came before them, using their knowledge to help a populace that suffers under the harsh policies of the ruling interplanetary league. Newly reborn as a Songstress, 16-year-old Bellin Ajelli sets off a holy pilgrimage across the planet. Rumors of a possible terrorist attack result in Prince Truhallon of the militant Donau Empire being sent in to protect her, but his very presence is the antithesis of everything Bellin stands for. The two are as different as night and day, but they're stuck together until they reach the capital.
