King Records brought out the announcement trailer for the second cour of Fafner: Dead Agressor – Exodus recently, but it didn’t last online too long. They’ve now corrected whatever issues they had with it and now a week or so after the big event showing for it, the six and a half minute piece that recaps the first cour of it and previous events while teasing what’s to come is back online with some great instrumental music. The second cour of the overall season is now scheduled to premiere in October on MBS. The official site has also recently updated with a new key visual that you can see a larger version of by clicking the image to the right.
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.
