The crew
The Oblivion Girl
Essa
Bounty hunter. Destroyer of cities. Armed with odd weaponry, a twisted sense of humor and a power she barely controls.
The New Recruit
Alita
A spoiled 16-year-old runaway who went from bounty to newest crew member. Sweet smile, silver tongue, and a dark side Essa almost admires.

What listeners are saying
“Oblivion Girl was a LOT of fun! I love how it sort of had an anime/manga feel to it.”
“From top to bottom, the sound design is beautiful.”
“The voice acting is especially great.”
The studio
Small crew.
Big sound.
Film crew veterans, touring musicians and a concept artist who came up through advertising. We spent eighteen months on one season because that's what it took to make it sound like a film.

Past events
On the con floor
We take our games and our sound design on the road, with live panels in front of the people we make them for.
2019 · Los Angeles · Panel
Anime Expo 2019
We hosted an Anime Expo panel for our visual novel Neon Tide and walked through our process for in-depth music and sound design. Simon Tse hosted. We gave away a free box set and plenty of Pocky.
2019 · Los Angeles · Panel
LA Comic Con 2019
Another panel we were honored to host. The crowd leaned toward comic franchises, but it was still a blast to be a part of. We did not film much here, so there is no live stream.
