Yuki Watanabe is directing the anime at Yostar Pictures, with Masataka Nishikawa as assistant director. Both have previously worked on an early anniversary short for the game called “Holy Knight Light”. Watanabe has also worked on many short videos promoting the game’s animation. Aya Takafuji (lead animator for Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia, SSSS.Gridman) is adapting the character designs for the animation.
Yostar Pictures described the anime as “season 1” when it was announced in October 2021.
Chinese developers Studio Montagne and Hypergryph released the game in China in May 2019 and then Yostar launched the game worldwide in January 2020. The game has inspired several animated promotional videos since 2019 and a nine-minute animated short “Holy Knight Light” in December 2021 to mark the game’s first 1-year anniversary.
The game is set in a fantasy world called Terra with a modern sci-fi motif. Terra is plagued by rare but devastating disasters that force most people to live in deserted cities. Catastrophe also brings back the rare Originium mineral, which provides high energy and is therefore a valuable resource, but also consumes everything around as it grows.
People exposed to Originium for long periods easily develop a debilitating disease known as Oripathy. The story revolves around the lives of people infected with Oripathy. A mobile health company known as Rhodes Island has helped and is a place of belonging for those infected.
However, Rhodes Island regularly has to take special paramilitary actions against the Reunion movement, a terrorist organization that commits acts of violence against governments that repress the infected.
