Ultraviolet Code 044 is the new anime by acclaimed anime team Director Dezaki Osamu and Character Designer Sugino Akio. It is based on Ultraviolet. Yes, THAT Ultraviolet.

So, I’m here selling at the San Diego Comicon, and I met Ogiue, the American version. She was a fangirl who LOVED all BL, but positively hated anything with actual sex in it.
