The first season of the Edens Zero anime television series was announced on Twitter by Hiro Mashima on June 12, 2020.[1] It is produced by J.C.Staff and directed by Yūshi Suzuki, who passed away on September 9, 2021, before its broadcast ended.[2] Shinji Ishihira served as chief director, with Mitsutaka Hirota overseeing scripts, Yurika Sako designing the characters, and Yoshihisa Hirano composing the music.[3] Covering the first eight volumes (chapters 1–68) of Mashima's original manga series of the same name, the plot follows Shiki Granbell, a boy with gravity powers who inherits the titular spaceship from his adoptive grandfather, the mechanical "Demon King" Ziggy, and assembles its crew in search of a cosmic goddess known as Mother.
The season aired on Nippon TV and other channels from April 11 to October 3, 2021,[4][5][a] and was released on DVD and Blu-ray in eight compilations by Aniplex between August 4, 2021, and March 2, 2022. Netflix acquired streaming rights to the season, globally releasing the first twelve episodes outside Japan on August 26, 2021,[6] and the remaining thirteen episodes on November 24 the same year.[7]
The first opening theme is "Eden through the rough" by Takanori Nishikawa, and the first ending theme is "Bōken no Vlog" (冒険のVLOG, lit. "A Vlog of the Journey") by Chico with HoneyWorks.[8] The second opening theme is "Forever" by L'Arc-en-Ciel, and the second ending theme is "Sekai no Himitsu" (世界の秘密, lit.
