Earlier today, the official Granblue Fantasy anime website updated with a new key visual. The image features the main characters, standing before a grand airship.
Granblue Fantasy will return to Japanese TV in October.
The show’s first season aired in the Spring 2017 broadcast season.
The series is based on Cygames’ smartphone game of the same name. Yuuki Itoh (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid) directed the project at A-1 Pictures, with Toshifumi Akai (Magi: The Kingdom of Magic, Oreimo 2) providing character designs. Ayako Kurata was tapped as series director.
The show’s soundtrack was scored by the team of Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy), Tsutomu Narita, and Yasunori Nishiki.
Aniplex of America currently holds the rights to Granblue Fantasy. They describe the show as:
The isolated island of Zinkenstill. A girl with blue hair is lying unconscious on the ground deep in a forest. Another girl finds her and runs over. This is how Lyria and Djeeta meet.
Time passes and Lyria is on the deck of the Grandcypher, thinking back on their journey thus far while looking at her notebook.
Her voyage from Zinkenstill, in which she changed Djeeta’s fate.
Meeting Rackam in Port Breeze and the showdown with Tiamat.
Confronting Colossus with Io and saving Tzaka the Great in the Valtz Duchy.
Djeeta and Lyria have traveled around to many islands and met a great number of people. Their next destination is Auguste, the island of water. Djeeta and her friends intend to enjoy a much-needed vacation there.
