STORY:
One day, a quiet town suddenly gets enveloped in mysterious smoke. There were spurts of steam gushing out from various places, completely covering the entire town in deep disguise. Only coals were being found in this quiet town until now, but something eerie is being discovered. What is it? Within the deep, white smoke arise numerous monsters and phantoms bringing misery and disaster to the people in town. This town is no longer a peaceful place on earth. We call this city "The Smoke City." A teenage detective (Narutaki)together with a nurse (Rin Rin), a powerful fighter (Goriki), Steward Kawakubo and other detectives fight against the crimes and villains in order to save the town.
Below are some shots taken from the promo of Steam Detectives which was aired exclusively on Aug. 16. Notice how they appear different from the TV series since they had been digitally processed using Ink & Paint.
