Aniplus-Asia announced on Wednesday that it will air a simulcast of the new "Djeeta-hen" (Djeeta Chapter) anime special for the Granblue Fantasy anime. The special will air on March 27 at 24:30 GMT +8 (effectively March 28 at 12:30 a.m.).

The special's cast includes:
- Hisako Kanemoto as Djeeta
- Kana Hanazawa as Zeta

The anime will commemorate the sixth anniversary of the game, and is technically part of the overall GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation Season 2 anime.
The anime's first season also included an unaired episode on the seventh home video release that featured Djeeta as the main character.
GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation Season 2 premiered last October. Aniplus-Asia aired a simulcast of the anime as it aired in Japan.
Yui Umemoto (Cardfight!! Vanguard G) directed the new season at MAPPA, instead of the first season's series director Ayako Kurata and director Yuuki Itoh at A-1 Pictures. Kiyoko Yoshimura (Cardfight!! Vanguard G, The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, Garo -Vanishing Line-) was the new writer in charge of the series scripts. Fumihide Sai (Shugo Chara!, Gokujyo. Gokurakuin Joshi Kōryō Monogatari) was the new character designer. Tsutomu Narita and Yasunori Nishiki returned to compose the music.
The first anime season of Cygames' Granblue Fantasy smartphone game premiered in Japan in April 2017 and ran for 13 episodes. Aniplus-Asia aired the first season in Southeast Asia as it aired in Japan.
