Summary:


In a season filled with sequels, reboots, and spin-offs, there are only a few original anime on offer. Comet Lucifer is one of those few. Produced by 8bit – the studio behind IS: Infinite Stratos, Grisaia no Kajitsu, and Tokyo Ravens – it tells the story of Amagi Souho (Kobayashi Yuusuke), a young boy whose hobby is collecting rare crystals for his own amusement. As it so happens, Comet Lucifer is set in a world called Gift, where the land is covered in blue crystals called gifdium. On this fantastical planet resides the crystal mining town of Garden Indigo, where our protagonist one day wanders into a mine and happens upon an underground lake. That's when he first meets Feliua (Ohashi Ayaka), a strange red-eyed, blue-haired girl, unlike anything he's seen before. Everything about this girl is a mystery, but their meeting is seemingly a product of fate, set to bring upon an adventure that Souho could never have anticipated.


Own opinion:


When it comes to original anime, it's difficult to predict how the finished product will compare to your expectations. When Comet Lucifer was first announced I thought this was going to be a magical, colourful fantasy adventure but I realised my initial expectations weren't exactly correct. As it turns out, Comet Lucifer is a mecha show, equal parts sci-fi and fantasy. So if you're a mecha-genre lover then this is your show ^^
