The anime takes place in Tokyo in 2030. In a suburban area, suddenly a high-frequency resonant sound is heard, and at the same time a red mist shrouds the area. Anyone who hears the sound, be it human or animal, loses consciousness. The government estimates that it might be an unidentified virus, and fearful of an epidemic, blockades Tokyo and moves its base to Osaka. However, six days after the incident, those who lost consciousness from the sound awaken for no apparent reason. Those blockaded in Tokyo slowly start to get the city functioning again, but after that day strange incidents start to occur at the blockade border. Those who have awakened a hidden blood power arise, are drawn to one another, and must face a cruel fate.

Where it came from
Lord of Vermilion: The Crimson King was released in 2018 as an anime television series adaptation of the popular collectible card game series developed by Square Enix. Produced by the studio Asread in collaboration with Tear Studio, the project aimed to translate the complex, multi-dimensional lore of the arcade game into a cohesive narrative format. Set in Tokyo during the year 2030, the story follows a group of youths who awaken dormant supernatural powers triggered by a mysterious, resonant sound, forcing them into a struggle for survival and identity.
The production sought to maintain the visual intensity associated with the original card game's character designs, which feature a dark, high-fantasy aesthetic. Despite the rich foundation of the source material, the series faced challenges in adapting the non-linear, battle-focused nature of the games into a traditional episodic structure. Critical reception upon its release noted the ambitious scope of the world-building, while often highlighting the difficulties of balancing the large cast of characters against the pacing of the supernatural conflict.
