If you’re a fan of Hiro Mashima’s Fairy Tail or Rave Master, you should keep your eyes on Edens Zero. Edens Zero is his latest manga sensation. Kodansha Comics, the western publisher, has a description of the manga you can read below:
“It’s here! The creator of Fairy Tail, manga superstar Hiro Mashima, is back with a high-flying space adventure! All the steadfast friendship, crazy fighting, and blue cats you’ve come to expect … in space!
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! Join Hiro Mashima (Fairy Tail, Rave Master) once more as he takes to the stars for another thrilling saga!”
Over the weekend Konami held a stream covering the details of two game and an anime adaptation. Read below to find out about the details they shared.
Not One But Two Games
Konami revealed that they are developing both a mobile game and a console game. Both games are action rpgs.
It was stated in the stream that the focus of the console game is to capture the feeling of using Shiki’s Ether Gear. He is able to control gravity so he can do things like run on walls and fly. The trailer that was shown off shows many memorable scenes from the manga involving the several of the protagonists. Later on, Hiro Mashima, himself, confirms that there will be different outfits the characters can wear. Some of those costumes he has designed himself.
The mobile game, a top down game, will focus more on seeing the characters team up and work together. There was no footage shown but they did show off some screen shots.
Both Edens Zero games have no release dates but due to Hiro Mashima’s global recognition I believe we will get them in the west.
The Edens Zero Anime
It was revealed during the stream that the Edens Zero anime will feature Shinji Ishihara (director of Fairy Tail) as the chief director. The director will be Yushi Suzuki who worked on as an episode director of the last Fairy Tail series. The series will be animated at J.C.Staff with no word yet on who is doing the music. J.C.Staff is probably best known at the moment for their adaptations of A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Magical Index. They also animated the second season of One-Punch Man and Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma. Character designs are provided by Yurika Sato, which you can see down below:
The anime will air April 2021.
