In the history of the anime, in the 21st century, the existence of animal-humans came to light after being hidden in the darkness of the story. Michiru lived life as a normal human being, until one day he suddenly transforms into a tanuki-human. He escapes and takes refuge in a special area of the city called "Anima City" which was established 10 years ago so that human-animals can live as themselves. There Michiru meets Shirou, a human wolf who hates humans. Through Shirou, Michiru begins to learn about animal-human concerns, lifestyle and joys. As Michiru and Shirou try to understand why Michiru has suddenly turned into an animal-human, they are unexpectedly involved in a major accident.
Yoh Yoshinari (Little Witch Academia) directed the Trigger anime and Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill) wrote the scripts.
