Anime premieres on August 28, airs every Monday, Tuesday at 8:00 p.m.
Animax Asia began streaming a commercial on Tuesday for its airing of the Land of the Lustrous television anime. The anime will premiere on August 28, and will air every Monday and Tuesday at 8:00 p.m. GMT +8.
Animax Asia describes Land of the Lustrous:
In a world inhabited by crystalline lifeforms called The Lustrous, every unique gem must fight for their way of life against the threat of lunarians who would turn them into decorations. Phosphophyllite, the most fragile and brittle of gems, longs to join the battle. When Phos is instead assigned to complete a natural history of their world, it sounds like a dull and pointless task. But this new job brings Phos into contact with Cinnabar, a gem forced to live in isolation.
The anime premiered last October.
The anime adapts Haruko Ichikawa's Land of the Lustrous (Hōseki no Kuni) manga.
Takahiko Kyōgoku (Love Live! School idol project, GATE) directed the anime at the Orange CG animation studio (CG in new Evangelion, Macross Frontier movies). Toshiya Ono (Suite Precure, Gatchaman Crowds, The Perfect Insider) was in charge of the series scripts. Asako Nishida (Simoun, Love Live! School idol project, Active Raid) designed the characters.
