is a 2013 supernatural anime series based on the video game by Atlus. The story revolves around a mysterious calamity which plunges the world into a state of chaos. This causes Hibiki Kuze and his friends Daichi Shijima and Io Nitta to be suddenly thrown from their normal lives into a battle of survival against creatures called Septentriones which were sent by the alien entity known as Polaris to destroy the spiritual barriers protecting Japan from a recreation tool known as The Void. Gaining the ability to summon demons from a cell phone app, Hibiki and his friends team up with an organization known as the JP's to protect Japan and above all else—survive.[1]

The anime adaptation is produced by Studio Bridge of Japan and directed by Seiji Kishi.[2] [3] In addition, series composition and script writing for all episodes were done by Makoto Uezu while the musical score was composed by Kotaro Nakagawa. Character designs are done by Etsushi Sajima, which are based on the original character designs by Suzuhito Yasuda, along with art direction by Kazuto Shimoyama and sound direction by Satoki Iida.[2] The thirteen episode series premiered on MBS' Animeism programming block on April 4, 2013, and was later aired on TBS, CBC, BS-TBS and Niconico.[4] The series was first acquired by Crunchyroll for online simulcast streaming in North America and other select locations across the world.[5] It was later obtained by the Anime Network for streaming.
