Shin Megami Tensei:
From October 5, 2002 to September 27, 2003, D-Children: Light & Dark was aired every morning on Saturday at 9:00 am on TV Tokyo. Actas was responsible for the production of the first 26 episodes, but due to production and sponsorship complications, the show's development was handed over to Studio Comet for the remainder of its broadcasting. Some staff, including the director, were changed following the move to Studio Comet.
The show received home media releases in the form of rental VHS tapes, which have since been discontinued, and no proper DVD or Blu-ray versions have ever been published. Due to this lack of availability, Episodes 9 through 20 are considered lost media.
Synopsis
While cleaning out a local library, students Jin, Akira, and Rena discover a Demon encyclopedia thought to have been written by the occult. Rena explains that Demons coexist with humans in an imaginary world called Valhalla, then takes notice of an incantation written in the encyclopedia. As the three students recite the incantation, time freezes, and a shrine maiden named Ami summons them to a desolate Valhalla. Ami pleads for Jin and Akira, whom she claims are the Son of Light and Prince of Darkness, to save Valhalla with their latent abilities, as the world was ruined by the evil Imperial Army. Gargoyles suddenly appear and attempt to take a Time Key and Time Chain from Ami, until Jin and Akira fight back using gun-like Devilisers to summon the Demons Rand and Gale. With their new partners, Jin, Akira, Rena, and Ami embark on a journey to save Valhalla from annihilation and find a way back home.
