(Note: The below video cannot be viewed in Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S.)

Fronter Works previously showed the video in Animate stores in March, then streamed a different promotional video in July.

The following voice actors are also cast in the series, but the staff has not yet announced their respective roles:
The anime takes place in Osaka in "AD20XX," and revolves around the Hand Shakers — partners who can summon "Nimrodes," weapons born from their deep psyche by joining hands. In order to grant the pair's wish, the Hand Shakers compete with and fight other Hand Shaker pairs. The top pair will then meet and challenge "God."
The English text on the anime title logo reads:
They, the receivers of the Revelation of Babel. They, the challengers to God.
They, who inevitably throw themselves into battle with their partners. What does God want from them?
And did they want powers exceeding that of Gods? The chosen ones, their souls linked,
join hand and hand for the Ziggurat where the fighting shall ensue.
The anime is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the ANIMATE chain of anime character goods stores.
