posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The official website for the Aldnoah.Zero television anime by writer Gen Urobuchi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero, Psycho-Pass, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet) began streaming the fourth commercial on Sunday.
The video features the following dialogue:
Please let me deploy!Are you my enemy?
Pop trio Kalafina will perform the opening theme song "Heavenly blue," while the series' composer Hiroyuki Sawano will perform the ending theme song.
The third commercial debuted earlier this month with the following narration:
1999: The Bars Empire finally declares war on the Earth Alliance. During the fierce fighting, the hypergate went out of control, devastating the moon. It's been 15 years since then. Aldnoah.Zero.
The first commercial outlined the premise of the story: In 1972, a hypergate was discovered on the surface of the moon, and humanity began migrating to Mars and settling there. However, eventually the seeds of war were sown.
The main cast for the July anime includes:
He is anything but passionate, and he operates on logic, rather than emotions.
Kenshō Ono as Slaine Troyard
His family were relative newcomers among those who migrated from Earth to Mars.
Sora Amamiya as Asseylum Vers Allushia
She is a pacifist who carries the aura of a princess.
Fate/Zero director Ei Aoki (Ga-Rei: Zero, The Garden of Sinners, Wandering Son) is directing the project at A-1 Pictures and TROYCA. Katsuhiko Takayama is in charge of the series scripts. Manga artist Takako Shimura (Wandering Son, Sweet Blue Flowers) provided the original character designs, which Atsuko Matsumoto is adapting for the anime. I-IV and Kenji Teraoka are designing the mecha, and Hiroyuki Sawano is scoring the music.
The series will premiere this July.
