P.A. Works original series Fairy gone has its marketing and distribution handled by TOHO and they generally do a very strong job in getting creative materials out there. One area where they really shine is when the [K]NoW_NAME is involved since they have an easier time handling clearances. With the group handling the insert songs for the series and its themes, they were part of a Nico Nico live broadcast ack on April 24th that clocked in at about fifteen minutes. They’ve now begun streaming that for other fans to see, which hopefully will be a part of a future home video release as well.
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.

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.
