Do the impossible, see the invisible! Er… whatever Promare’s catch phrase is!
Earlier today, an official website and Twitter account for Studio Trigger’s Promare opened its doors. The site includes a key visual and trailer, along with the first staff members attached to the project.
We break the details down below.
Trailer
The 45-second promo opens with footage from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill, before opening to a brief series of clips set to fast-paced music. Characters from an organization known as the “Prome Polis” rush into action.
Several shots linger on a blue-haired individual, and a being of pure darkness.
Key Visual
The image features the blue-haired warrior standing before the backdrop of a city. To its left, part of a grinning visage can be seen.
A series of sketches from the team were also revealed, which you can check out below.
