What is Kizuna no Allele?#
Kizuna no Allele (also known as Kizuna: Academia de artistas virtuales or 絆のアリル) takes place in a world where virtual idols are the pinnacle of fame. The story centers on the legacy of Kizuna Ai, a virtual superstar who dominated the industry for five years, winning the prestigious Lapin Doll award consecutively before mysteriously disappearing.
Years later, the focus shifts to ADEN Academy, a specialized school dedicated to training the next generation of virtual talent. The story follows a young girl named Miracle, who enrolls in the academy with strong convictions. As she pursues her dreams, she meets a diverse cast of students, including members of groups like VICONIC, BRT5, and 3DM8, all while navigating the challenges of the virtual world.
If you want to dive into this world, you can watch the anime on Prime Video to see the virtual performances for yourself.
Is the Anime Really Finished?#
