Daisuki has added a new series to their streaming lineup for the spring 2014 anime season this weekend with news that they’ll be handling M3: That Dark Metal. The series is set to premiere on Monday, April 21st, at 1:05 p.m. ET with new episodes added weekly after they air in Japan. The series is coming from Satelight and we knew that it had a pretty interesting core trio that are designing the project. Junichi Sato is directing based on the scrpits by Mari Okada and mechanical designs by Shoji Kawamori. They’re working with Hideki Inoue who is adaptating the character designs from Onigusnso’s original designs while Takatoshi Hamano is doing sound direction. Hajime Sakita is doing the soundtrack and it’s been revealed that May’n will be doing the opening theme.
Plot concept: A distorted, endlessly black darkness. The location where the dark swallowed everything and took everything from us has become known as the Lightless Realm. Born there, as if they were mirror images of the despair and chaos humans felt, were aberrations. They were called Admonitions. An investigation of the Lightless Realm that eats away at the human psyche. Can a group of eight boys and girls gathered in an effort to combat the Admonitions see the light of the future beyond the Lightless Realm, while their past destinies and dangerous present intertwine in a complicated web?
