Since the last time we spoke about Visual Prison, they’ve unveiled more music and other promotional material.
Its triple A-side theme song CD “Zankoku Shangrila / Bloody Kiss / Gyokuza no Gemini” is set to release on October 6, just three days before the anime starts airing. The CD will include each respective theme song by the three fictional bands in the series: O★Z, LOS†EDEN, and ECLIPSE.
Along with the new main visual, the anime also received its second promotional video! It gives us a much better look at the main characters that we’ll be following throughout the story, and we get to hear parts of O★Z’s theme song Zankoku Shangrila too.
