A new attempt at bringing the Phantasy Star Online 2 game to anime form is underway with Episode Oracle as part of the fall 2019 season. Funimation picked up the series for simulcast previously and now to draw a little more attention to it they’ve got a look at the opening sequence with the song “Destiny” by Aimee Blackschleger as well as the ending sequence which features the song “Timeless Fortune ” by Mika Arisaka.

The series is directed by Masaki Tachibana based on the series composition by Hiroshi Ohnogi. Shinpei Koikawa is handling the character designs while GONZO is handling the animation production with Felix Film working on the 3DCG.
