Devil Survivor 2 The Animation
Nicaea is the latest in social websites, sharing videos of friends faces the moment before they die. So of course high school friends Hibiki Kuze and Daichi Shijima can't resist signing up to check if it's true and they are promptly killed for their curiosity. However Nicaea gives them a second chance, bringing them back from the dead with the ability to summon the "demons" they need to survive against the otherworldly monsters they are suddenly surrounded by. Now together with their friends and a secret organisation, Hibiki and Daichi must work together to stop the end of the world.
Based on the 2011 Nintendo DS game of the same name, Devil Survivor 2 The Animation was directed by Seiji Kishi (Persona 4 The Animation) alongside assistant director Yoshimichi Hirai at studio Bridge. Makoto Uezu was in charge of the series scripts and Kotaro Nakagawa (Zettai Karen Children) scored the music. livetune featuring Fukase (from the band End of the World/SEKAI NO OWARI) performed the opening theme song "Take Your Way" and the Japanese hip-hop group Song Riders performed the ending theme song "Trauma / Be." The series originally premiered in April 2013 and ran for 13 episodes.
The series has been licenced by Sentai Filmworks in North America and they will release Devil Survivor 2: The Animation in July 2014. Crunchyroll simulcast the series as it was aired.
