We also get to take a look at the art for Elsie and Ziggy, and the key artwork.
The opening song tilted “Eden through the rough” will be performed by Takanori Nishikawa, while the ending song “Bouken no VLOG” (Adventure VLOG) is performed by CHiCO with HoneyWorks.
Incidentally, Konami is working on a JRPG for home consoles based on the Edens Zero manga and anime, on top of a mobile game.
We have not heard about them since Tokyo Game Show, but it’s likely that more will be revealed as the anime starts airing in Japan.
If you’re unfamiliar with Edens Zero, it’s a science-fiction manga by Fairy Tail mangaka Hiro Mashima. It debuted on Weekly Shounen Magazine in June 2018 and it’s still being serialized,
Here’s how Kodansha itself describes the story.
“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!”
