‘Gnosia’ is basically the pandemic-era online multiplayer game—but with pretty anime waifus, husbandos, an actual alien, and a talking dolphin.
Back in 2023, Infinity Train creator Owen Dennis and Star Trek: Lower Decks animation studio Titmouse announced they were working on an animated series adaptation of Innersloth’s mega-popular sci-fi multiplayer deduction game, Among Us, for CBS. The following year, we learned it would have a pretty stacked cast of voice actors, including Ashley Johnson and Elijah freaking Wood. But not a peep has been heard about the show since. In its apparent absence, a new Crunchyroll show has decided, quite randomly, to step up to the plate and release what’s ostensibly anime Among Us.
Okay, technically, Gnosia, animated by studio Domerica, is an anime adaptation of an entirely different game, a visual novel of the same name. But ostensibly—it’s anime Among Us. Its premise, like the game, is a crew of strangers on a spaceship who must vote on which among them is a Gnosia.
“Gnosia” is basically the made-up anime jargon name for an Among Us imposter. There are a lot of accusations thrown at the slightest suspicious statements made by each person and so on, but the only difference is that instead of kicking the accused out of an airlock, they’re put into deep freeze.
