Disney+ has revealed a special video and teaser visual for the previously announced Phoenix: Eden17 anime, an adaptation of the Nostalgia story of Tezuka Osamu‘s life work Phoenix. Additionally, it was announced that Shoujirou Nishimi (Mutafukaz co-director, Batman: Gotham Knight “Have I Got a Story for You”) is directing the show.
The video shows off various shots from the anime as well as some behind-the-scenes footage.
Phoenix: Eden17 will debut on Disney+ sometime this year. Studio 4°C is the animation production company.
The Phoenix manga, which had 11 tankoubon volumes published between 1954 to 1988, has previously inspired radio dramas, a live-action film, anime movies, games, and a 2004 anime series. The series features different stories and time periods.
VIZ Media describes Phoenix volume 6, which contains the Nostalgia story, as:
In the 25th century, Romy and her husband George purchase the planet Eden 17 from an unscrupulous space real estate agent. Unfortunately, their dream planet turns out to be an arid wasteland. During their desperate search for water, George is killed, leaving Romy and her unborn child to survive on their own. How far will Romy go to build a civilization on Eden 17?!
