The official website for Frontier Works' Project Scard franchise's TV anime adaptation, titled Project Scard: Praeter no Kizu (Project Scard: Scar on the Praeter), has released a 15-second commercial that reveals that the anime will premiere in January 8, 2021 on MBS, TBS, and BS-TBS' "Animeism" programming block.
KEY VISUAL:
The franchise's story is set in the fictional "Akatsuki special ward" of Tokyo, formed as a "lawless" independent state after the Akatsuki rebellion overthrew the ward's corporate masters. Maintaining order over the ward are three organizations — Helios, Artemis, and the Public Safety Bureau — who all employ agents known as "Scard." These agents are marked with Divine Tattoos that grant them the power to turn away any bullet or blade, making them virtually invulnerable.
