Following its October 10 premiere, The Vermilion Mask anime adaptation has officially released its creditless opening and ending sequence videos. The creditless footage gives fans an uninterrupted look at the atmospheric animation produced by One Double-O studio under the direction of Tetsuaki Watanabe.
The high-energy opening theme features the track "Firestarter" performed by MAN WITH A MISSION. Discussing the contribution, the musical group noted that the song is designed to support the young characters thrust into a cruel narrative path. Meanwhile, the ending theme "Koe" (Voice) is performed by yutori, who reflected on the emotional weight of carrying past burdens while trying to push forward.
