Sentai Filmworks to release music anime Carole and Tuesday on home video
Music anime Carole and Tuesday will arrive on home video thanks to Sentai Filmworks.
Announced yesterday, the company will deliver the anime series to home video later this year. The original anime series was directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, who is best known for their work on Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Animation studio Bones (Fullmetal Alchemist, My Hero Academia) took care of the visuals. Composer Mocky worked on the anime’s score, which also included contributions from artists such as Alison Wonderland, Flyng Lotus, and Thundercat.
At the 4th Crunchyroll Anime Awards in 2020, Carole and Tuesday won for Best Score. Overall, the show gained eight nominations at the awards ceremony, including Anime of the Year and Best Drama.
A synopsis for the show reads:
In the not too distant future, AI-generated music dominates entertainment on Mars, where the cutthroat music industry churns out dozens of plastic stars manufactured for mass appeal. It is here that Carole Stanley, an aspiring singer and orphaned teenage refugee from Earth, struggles to makes ends meet with odd jobs all the while dreaming to become a musician. That dream suddenly comes closer to reality when she meets fellow teen Tuesday Simmons, who is also a wannabe musician. Tuesday has her own set of problems, but their troubles fade away when they band together to write music the old-fashioned way in defiance of AI-generated convention. With the winning combination of Carole’s keyboard, Tuesday’s guitar and their vocal harmony, this powerhouse duo take on the Martian music world together—but life in the big city isn’t always kind to naïve young hopefuls like Carole and Tuesday.
Carole and Tuesday is available to watch exclusively on Netflix right now.
