The second cour of Fafner: Dead Aggressor – Exodus had its debut date set in Japan recently for October 2nd, 2015 at 26:25 on TBS. Now that the date has been set, King Records has rolled out the first TV spot for it with the natural focus on the music side. With the first cour being simulcast on Crunchyroll, we’re expecting the second cour here to get a pickup through them as well when their lineup gets announced.
The series stars Makoto Ishii as Kazuki Makabe, Kohei Kiyasu as Soshi Minashiro, Marika Matsumoto as Maya Tomi, Ryotaro Okiayu as Walter Bargest, Yuichi Nakamura as Dustin Morgan, Aki Unone as Keith Walter, Megumi Han as Aishuwaria Fein, Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Mitsugu Jinnai, Azumi Asakura as Saki Masaoka, Saori Seto as Mai Douma and Masakazu Morita as Billy Morgan.
With animation by XEBEC Zwei, the series is directed by Takashi Noto based on the screenplay by Tow Ubukata and character designs by Hisashi Hirai.
Original concept: Tatsumiyajima is the central island in the middle of a small cluster of islands, in a sleepy backwater of the Japanese isles. Not much happens there, and the island’s young people go to school knowing that their lives are likely to remain peaceful and undisturbed. Or so they have been taught… but the truth is different. The fate of mankind is on the line, and Tatsumiyajima is the last line of defense against a hostile and incomprehensible enemy. At the center of it all, fighting for Humanity’s continued existence, is the giant robot Fafner, the dragon that guards this final treasure of mankind.
