GoHands is animating the series while both GoHands and Frontier Works are credited with the original work. GoHands is known to work for the 2012 TV anime series K (K Project) together with Shingo Suzuki who directed the anime and designed the characters, both of which returns for this new anime project. Tamazo Yanagi will be in charge of writing the scripts, and Conisch and GOON TRAX are composing the music.

The franchise's story is set in the fictional "Akatsuki special ward" of Tokyo, formed as a "lawless" independent state after the Akatsuki rebellion overthrew the ward's corporate masters. Maintaining order over the ward are three organizations — Helios, Artemis, and the Public Safety Bureau — who all employ agents known as "Scard." These agents are marked with Divine Tattoos that grant them the power to turn away any bullet or blade, making them virtually invulnerable.

Yui Kuroe, who previously drew four manga for GoHands' K franchise, is launching a manga titled Project Scard ~Kemono-tachi no Seigi~ (The Justice of Beasts) in Kodansha's Shonen Magazine Edge on September 17.
