Known for Diabolik Lovers and many such popular works for girls, Rejet is now working on a project to create an original anime! Rejet will team up with music production group Elements Garden and famous record label Avex for this anime project.
The keyword of the project is “Song.” Evident from the collaboration effort of Elements Garden and Avex, both very popular with the younger generation, the anime will be making a point to focus on great music just as much as great visuals.
The first stage of the project, the start of original TV anime series Dance with Devils in 2015, was unveiled on Feb. 9. Rejet will handle original series composition. With the opening of the official website, teaser visuals have also been released. The project begins with the anime, but even better for fans of Rejet: a game has also been announced. The news is sure to make waves in 2015.
The staff and cast have also been announced. Ai Yoshimura, who has proven her skills with Blue Spring Ride, will be directing. Series composition will be by Tomoko Konparu, and character design will be by Yuka Takashina ( Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha ). Original character concept will be by Hirotaka Maeda from Rejet. Fans’ expectations are sure to be fulfilled.
Brains Base ( Kamigami no Asobi, Brothers Conflict ) will be in charge of anime production, and of course music will be handled by Elements Garden.
The story will be set in a town with a certain familiar feeling, Shiko Town. Second year high school student Rikka Tachibana attends Shiko Academy and enjoys a modest school life. However, her normal life falls apart when it turns out that demons are attracted to her. The main players are the cold student council president who is also a demon, Remu Kaginuki (voiced by Soma Saito), Rikka’s demon exorcist older brother Rindo Tachibana (voiced by Wataru Hatano), demon student council vice-president Meiji Nanashiro (voiced by Subaru Kimura), and finally the fallen angel Shiki Natsumezaka (voiced by Daisuke Hirakawa). This amazing voice cast is not to be missed.
