its opening and closing sequences uncredited, allowing fans to
further immerse themselves in its brilliant universe filled with crystals,
science, and discovery.
An
opening that captures the thrill of discovery

set to the song "Hikaru no Sumida", performed by
singer Rei Yasuda. This animation introduces the essence of the
anime: the excitement that Ruri Tanigawa feels every time she
discovers a new gemstone. With vibrant colors and a charming visual direction,
the video highlights Ruri's enthusiasm for the bright and unknown.

the viewer with a sense of calm and curiosity.
