As FUNimation continues to roll out new episodes of Heavy Object that comes from the same creator behind A Certain Magical Index, they’re now streaming the opening and closing sequences from the series. These continue to be great ways to share favorite shows with friends and expose others to the animation and music within. The opening song for this one is One More Chance!! by ALL OFF, which gets English subtitles with it, while the end closing thing Dear Brave by Kano doesn’t have them due to music rights issues.
Heavy Object is directed by Takashi Watanabe with Chikara Sakura serving as the assistant director and Hiroyuki Yoshino handling the series composition. Character designs are being done by Atsuko Watanabe with animation produced at JC Staff.
The original work began in 2009 and has had nine volumes published so far and the release of the most recent volume this past April. A brief manga run was done back in 2009 that ran for two years and then a second manga adaptation kicked off in 2011 that also ran for two years. Unsurprisingly, a new manga adaptation is in the works.
The series stars Natsuki Hanae as Quenser, Kaito Ishikawa as Heivia, Shizuka Itou as Major Floretia Capistrano and Eri Suzuki as Milinda.
Plot concept: Quenser came to the Alaskan military base to study Objects, the new weapons that have completely revolutionized war as we know it—battles are fought by soldiers controlling Objects far away from harm; however, when he starts to get close to Object pilot Milinda, will he discover the grim truth behind Heavy Objects?
