The Heavy Object anime series saw its debut back in 2015 as it adapted the light novel series of the same name and we’ve had home video releases in a few territories around the world. Now, the 20th volume of the series that’s set for an October 8th, 2021 debut looks like it’ll be the last one according to its listing on Amazon Japan. That has it coming a month after the 19th volume which is now listed as the first half of the final arc, setting everything up for a true ending.
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 as of the adaptation into anime itself. 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.
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?
