[Shradow]

Today Bandai Visual streamed a music video for its original television anime series Comet Lucifer. TRUE performs the video's song "Story of Lucifer," which also serves as one of the show's image song. The anime series will premiere in October.

 

 

The show's official website reveals the staff, cast, character designs, and story for the series.

 

The story takes place on the planet Gift, where precious crystals called Giftjium are buried in the earth. A young man named Sōgo lives in Garden Indigo, a prosperous mining town. Sōgo's hobby is to collect rare crystals. One day, he gets wrapped up in a riot caused by his classmates Kaon, Roman, and Otto, and he loses his way until he finds a lake deep under the ground's mining ruins. There, he meets a mysterious girl with blue hair and red eyes that gaze straight ahead. The story follows the adventure of what happens after this meeting.
