Looking for background on The World Ends with You The Animation (すばらしきこのせかい The Animation)? This action and supernatural series by Shin-Ei Animation and domerica (2021) starts out like this. At its core: Neku awakens in the middle of Shibuya's bustling Scramble Crossing with no memory of how he got there. Little does he know, he's been transported to an alternate plane of existence known as the Underground (UG).

Soon after, now an unwilling participant in the mysterious "Reapers' Game," Neku must partner up with a girl named Shiki in order to survive. Together, they complete missions and defeat monsters known as "Noise" as they gradually uncover the true nature of this twisted Game. "There's only one way to stay alive in Shibuya: trust your partner.

With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
