An original anime inspired by the Re:bel Robotica mixed-media project, which features the involvement of illustrator Mika Pikazo, has been announced. An illustration by Pikazo featuring the mysterious Lily was released with the reveal.

The anime credits Pikazo with the story drafts and character design drafts (for the project, Pikazo is credited with drafts and character designs, on top of creation). More details will follow soon.
The Re:bel Robotica project has been around since 2019 and includes two Shinchosha novels and a serialized novel. Its setting is 2050 Japan and features the so-called Meta Reality, which blends the real and the virtual. People use MR sensory nerves to perceive MR Objects with the five senses, but highschooler Taiki has a congenital MR bug that prevents him from experiencing Meta Reality. One day, Taiki is saved from a soft toy-like MR bug by the AI Robotika Lily. The two then search for the reason behind humans turning into MR monsters called Kiramon and try to restore them
Sci-fi author Ryo Yoshigami is credited for story and world design cooperation on the project. It was preceded by a 2017 dojinshi.
