The official website for Sōkyū no Fafner THE BEYOND, the new work in the Fafner franchise, began streaming a four-minute promotional video on Wednesday. The song in the video is angela's "Prologue -Kimi no Mukō Gawa-."
King Records briefly streamed the video earlier this week but removed it and apologized for the error.
Many of the main staff members are returning, though Michie Suzuki is taking over as art director and Takuma Morooka is the new director of photography. Takashi Noto (chief director for both seasons of Fafner EXODUS and the Fafner: Heaven and Earth film) is the director, and Tow Ubukata and Hisashi Hirai are returning as scriptwriter and character designer, respectively. Gou Nakanishi is the executive producer. XEBEC zwei is animating the production. Other returning staff members include:
- Mechanical Design: Naohiro Washio
- Music: Tsuneyoshi Saito
- Color Coordination: Mitsuko Sekimoto
- Sound Director: Masafumi Mima
- 3DCG Director: Eiji Inomoto
- Art Design: Kaoru Aoki
The staff have not yet revealed whether the anime will be a television series, film, or some other medium.
Funimation licensed and released the original 2004 anime Fafner and the 2010 film Sōkyū no Fafner: Dead Aggressor: Heaven and Earth. Crunchyroll streamed both halves of the Fafner EXODUS sequel series in various countries as they aired in 2015.
