Sunrise Beyond has recently announced its latest project, "Kyokkō no Sōki," as an addition to its ongoing project AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline. This six-episode anime, developed in collaboration with the toy and hobby company Bandai Spirits, is set to air in the summer.
"Kyokkō no Sōki" will feature characters such as Jin Misawa, a seasoned soldier and mercenary voiced by Shinichiro Miki, and Shōya Chiba's Ibuki Chinen, a dedicated AMAIM pilot. The anime will also introduce an AI character, Yamapi, rumored to have been created by a European teenager, and Grady Ellison, the commanding officer of the North American Alliance's "Gigantic Thunder" squadron.
Aesthetically, the anime promises to be a visual treat, thanks to the combined efforts of renowned mecha animator and designer Masami Obari and a recurring team from the AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline project. The creative team also includes screenwriter Noboru Kimura and character designer Kenichi Ohnuki, with Rasmus Faber handling the music. The mecha designs are a collaborative work by Ippei Gyōbu, Kanetake Ebikawa, and Takayuki Yanase.
The plot of "Kyokkō no Sōki" is set in the year 2061, where Japan is occupied by various nations and guarded by humanoid war machines called AMAIMs. The story follows Amō Shiiba, an introverted boy who comes into possession of an AMAIM Kenbu and sets out to reclaim Japan.
Another storyline revolves around Gashin Tezuka, a stoic 16-year-old member of the Japanese resistance who pilots the AMAIM Ghost to avenge his father.
