Fafner keeps getting new projects, but Exodus is no longer available on Crunchyroll. Are we even going to get to see The Beyond in North America, much less the new spinoff. It’s a really good series and deserves more attention.

I'm wondering the same thing. Fafner Exodus was possibly the best mecha anime of the last six years, and yet it got not physical media release overseas. And The Beyond has been running for a while with no official overseas stream in sight. And now another new project. Let's not forget Right of Left, too, which never got released overseas, either.

I get it that both ADV and Funimation made a push to sell this series and it didn't work...but Fafner Exodus in particular, while it relies on knowledge of the franchise, sort of transcended the franchise in terms of quality on all fronts. It was an amazing scifi anime series, period. I'd love to own it and see the others. I wonder how Exodus did on Crunchyroll?

No clue how it did, I agree it was a superior mecha show. I saw two episodes of The Beyond on YouTube but it disappeared almost immediately. Such a disappointment that it’s so hard to find

More Fafner is good for the world. Glad this episode is still releasing. I assume more news on the future of Fafner next year.

The wait is brutal.
