New Anime "Vertex Force" by Director Kazuhiro Takamura Starts in October

The broadcast of the new original TV anime "Vertex Force" will begin in October 2026. Along with the announcement, a teaser promotional video, the second teaser visual, initial character information, and the key members of the production staff have been released.

The teaser video, featuring clips from the series, offers a first glimpse into thrilling mech battles and dynamic character scenes. The focus is on the heroine Haruka Tōdō, who fights against an unknown enemy with the power of a mech. The final sequence shows a boy in the vast ocean reaching out his hand toward a trail of light, together with a mech (ENIA).

The second teaser visual carries the accompanying line: "The 'right answer' will destroy the world." It depicts the back of the boy, the mech in front of the Earth, and a mysterious beauty.
