Kadokawa released the promotional trailer for the anime on their Youtube channel on 12th June.
The trailer shows Natsume having a mechanized arm and her journey to make it her strength from her weakness. It also portrays some exciting action scenes.
The official website of the anime has released screenshots and a summary of the first episode, and it sure looks like a treat.
Episode 1 (Ignition) Summary
In the distant future, humans have been pushed to the verge of extinction by the invasion of mysterious life-forms called the Gadoll, and were now forced to live inside the moving fortress, Deca-dence.
Natsume is a Tanker (those who don’t have any battle skills) girl who has the spirit to fight. However, she is assigned as the assistant to Kaburagi, a Gear (warriors who fight the Gadoll).
One day, Natsume gets caught up in a battle against the Gadoll and witnesses the power of Kaburagi.
The anime is set to release on 8th July 2020. It is produced and animated by studio Nut (The Saga of Tanya the Evil). This project reunites the directors Yuzuru Tachikawa (Attack on Titan, Kill La Kill, etc.) and Hiroshi Seko (Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, etc.) after their work together on Mob Psycho 100.
Kadokawa has released some screenshots from the anime’s first episode, which features shots of Natsume, Kaburagi, the Gadoll, and Deca-Dence.
Funimation will stream the anime in the US, Ireland, Canada, and the UK. Hiroshi Seko has written the anime, and the music is by Masahiro Tokuda. The opening theme song, “Theatre of Life,” is performed by Konomi Suzuki while the ending theme, “Ark of Memories,” is performed by Kashitaro Ito.
Kaburagi is a realist who doesn’t see the point in high-end wishes and dreams, while Natsume has never learned to let go of her dreams. It will be quite interesting to see how they both save each other as well as the world.
