The episodes of the Japanese anime series Monochrome Factor are directed by Yuu Kou, produced by Genco, and animated by A.C.G.T. The anime is an adaptation of Kaili Sorano's manga of the same name, which is currently serialized in the manga magazine, Comic Blade Avarus. The story revolves around high school student Akira Nikaido, who, upon meeting a mysterious man named Shirogane, must become a "shin", or creature of the shadow world, in order to restore balance between the human and shadow worlds.
The anime premiered on the Japanese television network TV Tokyo on April 7, 2008. The last of the 24 episodes aired on September 29, 2008. Though the episodes aired on TV Tokyo first, the series also aired on other networks such as AT-X and TV Osaka within days of the original broadcast. Shochiku distributed the episodes in an eight-DVD set, with each compilation containing three episodes. The first volume was released on August 8, 2008, and the eighth on March 13, 2009.
Three pieces of theme music are used for the episodes: one opening theme and two ending themes. The opening theme, "Metamorphose", is performed by Asriel and written by Kokomi. The ending themes are by Daisuke Ono and Hiroshi Kamiya, and by Junichi Suwabe and Katsuyuki Konishi. Both ending themes are written by Yumi Matsuzawa, and the four performing artists are also voice actors for the series. Asriel released a single for "Metamorphose" on April 23, 2008. The singles for "Awake ~my everything~" and "Kakuse ~Dark and Light~" were released on May 28 and August 27 of 2008, respectively. __TOC__
