While we’ll still think of them as Xebec, the folks at Sunrise Beyond previously announced their fall 2021 project with Kyokai Senki. While we had a few details initially and a couple of promos, the show now has the first eleven-minute of it streaming, which includes the opening theme song “Enemy” by Blank Paper to check out. Sadly, there are no English subtitles but for those looking for a Sunrise show to check out, sometimes you just want the visuals.
The series is set for an October 4th, 2021 debut in Japan.
The series has Nobuyoshi Habara as the director with Noboru Kimura working on the series scripts. Kenichi Ohnuki handles the character designs and Sunrise Beyond is handling the animation production.

Plot Concept: Set in the year 2061 with Japan under a state of occupation by multiple states, the world has been consolidated under the rule of four trade blocs. The entire archipelago now the frontline of conflict. The Japanese people live in a state of constant occupation and oppression, with humanoid war machines called AMAIM patrolling its streets. A young introverted boy named Amō Shiiba has a chance meeting with the autonomous AI Gai, and his acquisition of the AMAIM Kenbu begins a story that will see him attempting to take back Japan.
