The Edens Zero TV anime will start broadcasting on NTV from April 10th. Also, it will be released on Hulu on the same day.
Synopsis of the series:
A young boy gazes up at the sky and sees a streaming bolt of light. The friendly, armor-clad being at his side tells him gently, “That’s a dragon.” The fact that he’s joking isn’t important. What’s important is the look of wonder on the boy’s face… and the galaxy-spanning adventure that’s about to take place!
Mashima’s Edens Zero is being serialised in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine since June 2018, and is a science fiction manga with thirteen tankōbon volumes as of January 2021.
In September 2020, it was announced that Konami is working on a video game adaptation of the series.
The previously announced staff who are working on the anime:
General Director: Shinji Ishihira
Director: Yuji Suzuki
Series Composition / Screenplay: Mitsutaka Hirota
Character Design: Yurika Sako
