Edens Zero Season 2 Release Date Confirmed + Trailer Revealed
Edens Zero Season 2 premiere date and key visual out!
If you have ever been in the anime community, you must have heard about Fairy Tail. It’s among the most popular shonen series in the past decade that has managed to carve out a unique stage compared to other popular titles in this genre.
Mangaka Hiro Mashima s’ Fairy Tail holds a special place in many people s’ hearts as the adventures of Natsu, Lucy, and Happy, along with their guild members, have entertained the fans over the years.
While Fairy Tale may be concluded, Hiro Mashima has another successful serialization that has been ongoing ever since 2018. It’s a series called Edens Zero, which received its anime adaption in April 2021.
The premise the story takes place in a space that, in essence, is filled with almost unreal numbers of mysteries and destinations.
Since this is a work of fiction, the grand adventure that’ll take place in space will have many fantastical aspects that intricately create a sense of adventure and exploration.
The story is set in the distant corners of outer space wherein a kid named Shiki, who, after years of living isolated on a planet with nothing but robots, can go out into space.
After a B-Cube user named Rebecca, alongside her dual-willed guns and robotic cat friend happy, come to take him away so that they can search the cosmos for a being called mother.
Mother is said to grant any wish to the person that finds her, and to help with that, Shiki also has an ability called ether gear which activates a machine in one’s body to give them special abilities, in this case, him having the power of gravity.
Shiki, alongside Rebecca and Happy, continues to transverse through space as well as meet new people and become friends with them while searching for the wish-granting being, Mother.
The first season was a relative success considering the series was part of an incredibly stacked Spring 2021 line-up that consisted of other fantastic anime such as Fruits Basket: The Final, 86 Eighty-Six, Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song, Odd Taxi, Megalo Box: NOMAD, Tokyo Revengers, and My Hero Academia Season 5.
