As we get closer to the spring season and start looking at what’s going to be landing, some new pieces of key visual art debuts. The latest is the last image below (the other four were revealed previously) for the Production I.G. series Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, aka Suisei no Gargantia. The series is being directed by Kazuya Murata with a script by Gen Urobuchi, who wrote the Fate/Zero and Black Lagoon light novels and several anime scripts includeing Psycho-Pass and Madoka Magica.
Check out the previously released promo video below and the key art after that.
Plot Concept: The story begins in the distant future in the far reaches of the galaxy. The Human Galactic Alliance has been constantly fighting for its survival against a grotesque race of beings called “Hidiaazu.” During an intense battle, the young lieutenant Redo and his humanoid mobile weapon Chamber are swallowed up into a distortion of time and space. Waking from his artificially induced hibernation, Redo realizes that he has arrived on Earth, the planet on the lost frontier. On this planet that was completely flooded by the seas, people live in fleets of giant ships, salvaging relics from the seas’ depths in order to survive. Redo arrives on one of the fleets called Gargantia. With no knowledge of the planet’s history or culture, he is forced to live alongside Amy, a 15-year-old girl who serves as a messenger aboard the Gargantia fleet. To Redo, who has lived a life where he knows nothing but fighting, these days of peace continue to surprise him.
Redo looks cool, though thats the only thing Im currently feeling for this anime. Hope it turns out good.
