Now airing Mondays to Fridays, 10pm in Animax
Eighty years after legendary hero and present-day king Gilgamesh stormed the Tower of Druaga and slew its eponymous demon overlord, opportunists from across the world still flock to the reconstituted Tower to try their luck plundering its untold riches. Legend has it that the greatest treasure of them all, the Blue Crystal Rod which grants wishes, lies on the top floor guarded by the supposedly slain Druaga himself.
Inexperienced adventurer Jil, back from his bitterly humiliating stint in his brother Neeba's exploratory party, is determined to get to the top floor to get rid of Druaga once and for all. He soon attracts a small party of like-minded fighters including oracle-healer Kaaya; warrior-lancer Ahmey; lightning-mage Melt and his helper Coopa who also cooks for everyone.
During a lull in demon activity in the tower known as the ‘Summer of Anu’, Jil and his party make their bid for the top floor. Unluckily for them, the competition - including, but not limited to Jil’s brother - is good and unfortunately, Jil is not. At least, not yet…
