It was announced a short while ago that the next “Megami Tensei” title to receive an anime TV series adaptation would be Devil Survivor 2, the 2011/2012 Nintendo DS title which I reviewed earlier this year. Seiji Kishi who was also involved with Persona 4 the Animation will be directing the series alongside Yoshimichi Hirai as assistant director. The studio Bridge is set to be behind this series and is set to begin airing in April 2013.
Now with all the details out of the way, we can get to the more interesting content. The youtube page for Pony Canyon have recently launched the first promotional trailer for the series… and while only just shy of a minute in length it goes out of its way to highlight several of the characters who are to appear in the anime along with brief glimpses of the events to occur during it. There is no dub to the trailer and as of yet the dub cast is unknown.
It’s your last year of high school, and during a fall season full of college entrance exams, you receive a text message on your way home from one of your study sessions….
“A death clip has been uploaded to Nicaea!”
The message’s sender is the mysterious onlien video site, Nicaea, which is rumored to have videos that predict your friends deaths – in graphic detail. Your classmates Daichi and Io have also received these texts, and “death clips” of them have been uploaded as well. The events shown in the videos begin to come true as the three of you are involved in a subway accident. When you regain consciousness, the unbelievable is taking place before your very eyes…. Demons have appeared from nowhere….
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 (DS) was published by ATLUS USA in February 2012, a review of which can be read HERE.
