Official Trailer Out Now!
Hey everyone! Now that the trailer has released online, I've gone ahead and swapped the linked video from TAC episode 5 to the announce trailer so you can get a bit better of an idea what this show will be like!
HXM: The Audio Drama: Origin Episode(s) Roles
Project Overview
Harbinger X Machina The Audio Drama is looking to cast roles for several bonus episodes to be released outside of the normal Season 1 release.
If you are unfamiliar with our work, the video linked will take you to our most recent episode of The Terra Arcanum Chronicles, our previous project!
HXM is aimed to be an anime styled show, in audio format, from voice acting, to special (sound) effects, and themes.
HXM, or Harbinger X Machina (We say the X), follows two men, Nero –a hot-headed hunter with an affinity for fire magic, long swords, and a big appetite–and Finn –the level-headed adventurer with a proclivity towards ice magic, frugal spending, and getting dragged into trouble– looking to form their very own adventurers guild. After racking up the necessary funds, they are heartbroken to learn they are missing the necessary commendations to earn an official license. Along the way, Nero and Finn meet a band of unlikely allies that join them in their efforts to stop a sinister plot involving man controlled monsters, political assassinations, and the dealings of one Demon.
The first season is currently in production, with season 2 planning to be written soon after the bonus episodes are complete.
