The ambitious multi-media sci-fi initiative Dark Machine the Animation has released its third official promotional video, offering audiences an extended look at its high-octane mecha action and announcing its official ending theme song. The PV showcases the track "Galaxy Mode" performed by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS, setting a stylish electronic tone for the upcoming series ahead of its broadcast debut.
Directed by Kazumi Terada at animation studio Production +h., the series adapts the universe of the asynchronous arena shooter game. The overarching production features heavy-hitting talent, including Code Geass director Gorō Taniguchi acting as creative producer and veteran mecha artist Hidetaka Tenjin heading mechanical designs. The voice cast is equally stacked, featuring prominent industry names such as Kenshō Ono, Miyuki Sawashiro, and Kōki Uchiyama.
Broadcast and Manga Expansion
The series is scheduled to premiere on October 13 on Fuji TV, with subsequent broadcasts on Kansai TV and BS Fuji, while Crunchyroll handles international streaming. In tandem with the television broadcast, the franchise is expanding into print media with a manga adaptation illustrated by Kei Kondō. The adaptation will launch on Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha's Comic Ruelle and Comic Jardin web platforms, bridging the narrative gap for fans eager to explore the futuristic 2079 setting where underground factions pilot repurposed factory robots for supremacy over Palmer crystal energy.
