During a recent live stream, Fuji TV revealed several new anime shows that are coming soon. One of these shows is Metallic Rouge, an anime by BONES that features a stacked staff list that includes Super Crooks’ director and an Evangelion designer.
While BONES is best known for adapting popular shonen manga such as My Hero Academia and Fullmetal Alchemist, their next project is different as it’s an original anime.
However, it should still feature the studio’s signature high-quality action sequences.
