What is Edens Zero About?
Edens Zeros plot description on MyAnimeList reads:
"All his life, Shiki has been surrounded by machines. At Granbell Kingdom, a long-abandoned amusement park, he is the only one of his kind around. That is, until Rebecca Bluegarden and her feline companion Happy arrive, unaware that they are Granbell's first visitors in one hundred years. Their goal is to make fun videos for their B-Cube channel, but what they find instead is a friend in the socially awkward Shiki.
When Granbell becomes too dangerous for the three of them, they set off on an adventure through the Sakura Cosmos. They hope to make more interesting videos and even find the elusive goddess Mother, while Shiki wants to make more friends, spurred on by the words of his late grandfather. Of course, the journey will not be easy, as no one has seen Mother before, but Shiki is determined to reach his goal and explore the boundless reaches of space together with his new friends."
Edens Zero Season 2 Official Announcement
After teasing a continuation of the Edens Zero anime shortly after the final episode aired, the official Twitter account of Edens Zero has confirmed that the second season, based on the manga of the same name by Hiro Mashima, is currently in production. A teaser visual for the next season featuring Shiki, Rebecca, and the adorable Happy has also been released. However, information on the broadcast date or staff members has not yet been revealed.
As seen below, the new Edens Zero poster shows Shiki holding up two fingers to signal the upcoming season. The characters' designs look familiar as mangaka Hiro Mashima prefers to stick to his original aesthetic. The leads look remarkably similar to our favorite characters from Mashima's previous works like Fairy Tail or Rave Master, so fans of those series will have an easy time watching Edens Zero if they haven't already.
The announcement below reads, "Everyone, thank you for your patience. The anime's second season has been approved. Details such as its broadcast debut will be reported later, so please look forward to it!"
