[NEWS] Luck & Logic Trading Card Game and Anime Project announced, PV revealed.


Okay guys so just today, a new multimedia project got revealed known as Luck & Logic. The project is a joint collaboration between Bandai Visual, TCG juggernaut Bushiroad, animation studio Doga Kobo (famous for Plastic Memories, Himouto! Umaru-chan and Aria the Scarlet Ammo AA), visual novel and project developer Nitro+, animation studio Yuuhodou and record label Lantis and spans various forms of media, primarily an anime and TCG.

Additionally, the setting, story, cast and staff for the anime got announced too. First up, the setting and story:-

The story sets in a world where a concept known as "Logic" governs all aspects of life, including emotions, talent, memories, and even gods. In L.C. 922, people faced a sudden crisis. In Tetra Heaven, the land of legend, a hundred years of war had come to a close. The gods who lost the war searched for a new place to live, and found it in Septpia, the human world, which they proceeded to attack. The Logicalists attached to ALCA, a special police agency whose duty it was to protect cities from assaults by foreigners (angels), were compelled to act in defense of cities, whether they wished to or not. And depending on their ability, Logicalists could initiate trance with goddesses from the other world, and stand a fighting chance on the battlefield. A civilian named Yoshichika Tsurugi, who lacked "Logic" and lived happily with his family, was caught up in an attack, and took shelter along with many people. He meets a beautiful goddess named Athena. In her hands, she had the "Logic" that Yoshichika lacked. Now both Yoshichika and Athena head to their destiny
