About Caligula
Caligula ended on June 24, 2018, on Tokyo MX. The series concluded after its 12-episode run in the summer of 2018.
Caligula was an action-packed anime series that aired in 2018, set in a dystopian digital world called Mobius. The story centered around a virtual idol program named μ, which gained sentience and self-awareness. The series explored how μ created a perfect digital space to benefit humanity, attracting people who were suffering in the real world and resonated with μ's songs. Once inside Mobius, individuals often forgot about their real lives and were transformed into students who repeatedly experienced school life, which μ regarded as "the most radiant time in a person's life." The show delved into themes of escapism, identity, and the blurred lines between reality and virtual worlds.
The episodes each had a runtime of approximately 30 minutes. The series offered a thought-provoking look at digital consciousness and the consequences of virtual utopias, concluding its story in mid-2018.
