Re:Creators is a Japanese anime television series produced by Troyca that aired from April to September 2017. The series follows a high school student named Sota Mizushino who becomes involved in a conflict between various characters from manga, anime, and video games. These fictional figures manifest in the real world, leading to a situation where they view their creators as god-like beings. Sota is initially transported into his favorite anime before returning to Tokyo with the series heroine. As more fictional characters appear in the real world, the story explores the intentions of these figures and their connection to the realm of their creators. The series was created by Rei Hiroe and features a voice cast including Daiki Yamashita, Inori Minase, Mikako Komatsu, and Katsuyuki Konishi. The narrative examines the concept of creators and the impact of the stories they produce on both the audience and the characters themselves, ultimately questioning how these creations interact with the reality of their makers.
