P.A. Works original series Fairy gone that has been picked up for streaming by Funimation this season and they’re doing some new promotion for it. One of the best ways to draw people into a show in my mind is to show off the opening sequence since they have catchy music and some of the best visual elements to work with. The opening sequence for this series features “Knock On the Core” by [K]NoW_NAME and that really sets a tone.
The series has Kenichi Suzuki directing with the scripts from Ao Jumonji, the author of Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash. The original designs by Haruhisa Nakata are being adapted by Takako Shimizu with P.A. Works handling the animation production. [K]NoW_NAME is on board for music production.
The Japanese cast includes Kana Ichinose as Maria Noel, Tomoaki Maeno as Free Underbar, Ayaka Fukuhara as Veronica Thorn, Yoshimasa Hosoya as Ulfran Low, Ayaka Suwa as Clara Kisenaria, Yoshiki Nakajima as Serge Tovah, Mie Sonozaki as Nein Auraa, Takehito Koyasu as Damian Carme, Houchu Ohtsuka as Marco Bellwood, Eizou Tsuda as Ray Dawn, Atsumi Tanezaki as Lily Heineman, Kōji Okino as Robert Chase, Mikako Komatsu as Eleanor Need, Yasuhiro Mamiya as Oz Maher, Kenjiro Tsuda as Griff Mercer, Mugihito as Cain Distaroru, Shinji Kawada as Axel Rabū, Minako Kotobuki as “Sweety” Bitter Sweet, Yuka Iguchi as Patricia Pearl, Kazuyuki Okitsu as Jonathan Passepierre, Hisao Egawa as Biivii Risukaa, Shizuka Itou as Sophie, Takaya Hashi as Schwartz Diese, Hiroki Touchi as Jet Glaive, and Kenji Nomura as Ewan Breeze.

Plot Concept: The show is set in a world where fairies possess and reside within animals, granting them special powers. By surgically removing and transplanting the organs of a possessed animal into a human, humans can partially summon the fairy and use it as a weapon. Eventually, such individuals were used for war, and were called “Fairy Soldiers.” After a long war, these soldiers lost their purpose and had to reintegrate into society. From the government to the mafia, and even becoming terrorists, each treads their own path.
