Land of the Lustrous or Houseki no Kuni is one of the breakthrough anime series released in 2017. The fantasy anime is actually adapted from the manga of the same title by Haruko Ichikawa. The original manga was first released back in 2012. Going back to the anime, Land of the Lustrous is famous for its use of CG animation. CG or 3D animation is not common in anime, but Land of the Lustrous executes the design in a seamless fashion. Since the characters are jewel people, their physical appearance is akin to real gems. You can see the gem-like quality in the characters through their hair. The attributes of the characters are also based on their corresponding gem. Case in point, the protagonist Phos has qualities of a real phosphophyllite. A phosphophyllite is a brittle yet rare mineral with a bluish-green appearance. Aside from that, the jewel people also have personalities based on the nature of the gems they are. The gem Cinnabar has toxic properties that's why they stay away from others. While watching Houseki no Kuni Episode 1 onwards, you can already have a glimpse of these gems. The setting of Land of the Lustrous is in a post-human world where jewel humanoids live the earth. The imminent threat that they face is the hunters out to harvest jewels. When the enemies attack, the jewel people have to defend themselves. Although the main character Phos still has to learn how to be stronger.

Aside from the gripping story of survival, you can marvel at the beauty of the animation design. Every part of the anime is a visual delight. You can watch Land of the Lustrous online with these surefire streaming websites.
