GNOSIA

A lone freighter cuts through deep space with a small crew on board, and one of them is not what they seem. Every day the team holds a vote to pin down an imposter known as Gnosia, a shapeshifting threat that can imitate crew members, and the accused gets put into cryo-sleep. For Yuri, that first frantic day rewinds endlessly. She wakes to the same morning again and again, watching alliances form and trust crumble as she tries to remember who mattered yesterday. With each loop she collects clues and pieces of people, chasing why the Gnosia infestation happened and what keeps time repeating, while life on the ship grows more dangerous and strange.

Released in 2025, GNOSIA is created by Jukki Hanada and features voices from Chika Anzai as Yuri, Ikumi Hasegawa as Setsu, Akari Kito as SQ, Hiroki Nanami as Racio, and Asami Seto as Jina.

As of release GNOSIA hasn’t picked up major awards, but it’s drawn attention in niche anime circles and at genre-focused screenings. Critics and fans are watching its festival path for potential recognition.

The show has sparked lively online discussion, with fans sharing theory threads, fan art, and character essays. Its blend of social deduction and time loop mechanics has encouraged tabletop-style watch parties and renewed interest in similar mystery formats within animation communities.

Early reception skews positive, reflected in an 8.8/10 vote average from initial viewers, though the sample is small. Reviewers praise its tight mystery structure and psychological tension, and viewers often highlight its treatment of identity, trust, memory, and moral choice. The time loop acts as more than a plot device, it's a way to test how people change under repeated pressure and how fragile social bonds can be when survival is on the line.
