While we’ve got Funimation and Crunchyroll working the movie side of the Chain Chronicle equation, SEGA has brought out a new piece of the puzzle to get fans ready. The new twelve episode TV series is kicking off this week in Japan and SEGA has a really nicely done three-minute prologue piece that showcases the world that will be new to some and familiar to others. With a good sample of the ending theme song included with it as well, it hits all the right notes to warm fans up before digging into the winter 2017 anime adaptation.
When it comes to the movies, the first one has seen release on Crunchyroll already and movie 2 will come out in January while movie 3 will come out in February.
Plot concept: This is the story of the Chain Chronicle, a book that describes everything that happens in the world.
The citizens of the remote continent of Yggd once thought that there was nothing beyond their continent. The continent was divided into several regions, each with its own king. Though there were small skirmishes amongst them, a lord, chosen by the kings in conference, always maintained balance – until the evil Black Army arrived.
“All will be engulfed in black.”
The Volunteer Army, led by Yuri, was no match for the Black Army. During the fighting, the Lord of Black captures half of the Chain Chronicle, as well as the capital. During their retreat, Yuri and the Volunteer Army encounter a boy fighting the Black Army all by himself.
So begins the story of the Chain Chronicle, of the Volunteer Army’s and Black Army’s battles for the fate of the world, and of friendship.
