Two characters, Romi and Com, leave the decaying Earth with the goal of building a new life on another planet, Eden17. Upon arrival, however, they are confronted with a grim reality that forces them to adapt to harsh circumstances. This plot has its roots in a specific chapter of the original manga called "Nostalgia".
Two new voice actors are slated for the project—Shintarō Asanuma, who will voice Makimura, and Ryohei Kimura, who will take on the role of Kain.
The anime, consisting of four episodes, will be made available to a global audience on Disney+ starting September 13. A theatrical adaptation with its own finale titled "Phoenix: Reminiscence of Flower" is set to premiere in Japan on November 3.
