Captain Earth
Bones is no stranger to some unusual names for their series, especially when it comes to their original works, and the spring 2014 series Captain Earth certainly qualifies. The series comes from the same team that worked on Star Driver and is set for an April debut. It’s set to be directed by Takuya Igarashi with scripts by by Yoji Enokido. Character designs are being done by Satoshi Ishino based on the original designs by Fumi Minato.
The official site opened this weekend where you can also see somethe main promotional image as well.
Plot concept: One night right before summer vacation, Daiji Manatsu, a second-year in high school, sees a weird round rainbow floating in the sky above Seed Island (Shuushi/Tane Island) and ventures there alone. He has seen this rainbow before. With the memories of his father’s mysterious death and an encounter of a mysterious boy and girl, Daiji arrives on the island while the alarm of a building labeled “Earth Engine” is going off. Someone asks him “Are you a captain?” just as robotic intruders from Uranus called “Kiltgang” arrive. The battle around the shining stars is about to begin.
