The Victorian-era styled visual has the protagonist Angel Yuki sitting on stairs in a rose garden. Surrounding him are the members of three major visual kei bands in the anime. From the top, we have the ghostly members of Eclipse, followed by Los Eden to their right.
At the bottom of the poster, we can glimpse the members of OZ, the band to which Angel Yuki belongs. The visual indeed radiates both fear and curiosity to the viewer, inviting them to the world of visual kei.
The trailer starts with two moons in the night sky, hinting that something supernatural is afoot.
After a few seconds of calm, the metal music kicks in, and the trailer takes off from there. We soon get a montage of various bands as they hit their chords, from mics that look like rapiers and stake to costumes that remind you of tales such as wonderland. The video is sure to leave you in awe.
Though I am in the camp of 2D animation, the use of 3DCG in Visual Prison seems to be quite good.
The perfect blend of various animation techniques, stylized art style, and music is sure to have us all dazzled in the fall.
