P.A. Works announced a new anime titled Fairy Gone on Thursday, which will premiere in April.
Kenichi Suzuki (Cells at Work!, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Drifters) is directing, while Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash light novel author Ao Jūmonji is writing and overseeing the scripts. Haruhisa Nakata designed the original concepts for the characters and fairies, while Takako Shimizu (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Sōsei no Aquarion Love) adapted the character designs for animation. NoW_NAME (Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, Sakura Quest) is credited for music production and will perform the anime's theme song "KNOCK on the CORE" (seen in the video above).
The anime's slogan is: "Once, fairies were weapons."
The anime is set in a world where fairies possess animals, dwell within them, and grant them special powers. By surgically removing and transplanting the organs of a possessed animal into a human, the human can partially summon the fairy and use it as a weapon. Eventually, such individuals were used for war and called "Fairy Soldiers." After a long war, these soldiers lost their purpose and had to reintegrate into society. From the government to the mafia to terrorists, everyone follows their own path.
The story begins nine years after the war's end and focuses on the protagonist Maria. Maria is a new recruit of "Dorothea," an organization dedicated to investigating and suppressing fairy-related crimes and incidents. Even in peacetime, the postwar government remains unstable. Many criminals still bear wounds from the previous conflict, and there are terrorist groups seeking revenge. This is the story of Fairy Soldiers searching for their own justice in a chaotic postwar world.
