The series will stream on Amazon Prime worldwide, and the first episode will be available on Amazon Prime one day before it premieres on Fuji TV.

The anime reunites director Tetsuro Araki and Wit Studio, the team responsible for Attack on Titan. Code Geass creator Ichirō Ōkouchi is writing the scripts. Haruhiko Mikimoto (Macross 7, Gunbuster) is designing the original characters, and Hiroyuki Sawano (Attack on Titan, Aldnoah.Zero) is composing the music.
