#”Crimson Lightning” Song from Upcoming Metallic Rouge Anime Previewed in New Video

Update: A non-region-locked video, embedded below, has been released on Fuji TV’s YouTube channel.

Original: Crunchyroll has released a “special music clip” for “Crimson Lightning,” one of the songs from the upcoming sci-fi anime Metallic Rouge‘s soundtrack. The video, which weaves together footage from the show and massive lyrics texts, is produced by 10GAUGE, a studio that has been involved in various anime trailers and opening/ending animations.

The music and lyrics for the anthem-like tune both spawn from the show’s composer, Taisei Iwasaki (Blood Blockade Battlefront). The latter includes lines like, “The moment has arrived for fighting. There is no escape or hiding” and “Darkness will be broken open. Shattered by the crimson lighting.”

Metallic Rouge is a Bones original that will follow the android Rouge (Yume Miyamoto) and her human partner Naomi Orthmann (Tomoyo Kurosawa) as they pursue nine anti-government androids on Mars. Motonobu Hori of Super Crooks and Carole and Tuesday is its director. The anime is set to premiere in January 2024.
