The official website of the Zegapain anime series announced the production of a sequel to the television anime, Olta Moda-hen, on Thursday, revealing a teaser visual (pictured).

The original Zegapain television anime by Sunrise aired in 26 episodes in Spring 2006. The story follows Kyou Sogoru, an ordinary high school student who is led by a mysterious transfer student, Misaki Shizuno, and gets involved in a battle against giant robots in another world.

The Zegapain ADP compilation movie premiered in Japan in October 2016. The movie, featuring new scenes, commemorated the anime's 10th anniversary.

Bandai Entertainment released the television anime on six DVD volumes in North America in 2007-2008 and in a Complete Collection DVD in 2009. Sentai Filmworks reacquired the license in 2013.

@malvarez1 I wouldn't be surprised if this is more of a passion project than anything else, but I could be wrong.

Anything can get a sequel nowadays. 🤞🏽for a Tomodachi Game and Chivalry of a Failed Knight sequel

Totally unexpected lmao. It is one of my favorite anime but I have mixed feelings about the announcement, ADP was not that great and the story doesn’t need a sequel at all. On the other hand, it is great to know the franchise hasn’t been forgotten by Sunrise/Namco and hopefully it can get the attention it deserves this time.

Wow, I vaguely recall that show, though I never watched it. Surprised it is popular enough to get a sequel.

@RobertBobert damn.

@Lavi_kun I only heard that they sold the license for distribution in the US in 2021.

@RobertBobert I hope they bring back kekkaishi.

@Lavi_kun I thought that their new business plan was only about Gundam, but it is likely that they have also started to develop their other IPs as well.

@RobertBobert dunno I haven't watched so many things by them so can't really say but yeah pretty much what I have watched by them are keep getting something new even now.

@Lavi_kun I'm generally intrigued by how Sunrise develops the universe of their non-Gundam shows. Or, like with Code Geass, is there nothing out of the ordinary?

Sep 1, 2023 6:11 AM by RobertBobert

@RobertBobert same thing I am wondering, most likely new cast will appear with same setting.

Sep 1, 2023 4:03 AM by Lavi_kun

@Lavi_kun Sounds like it will be an interesting experience, but only for once. Although I wonder why they decided to make a sequel.

Sep 1, 2023 3:48 AM by RobertBobert

@RobertBobert plot holes are thier obviously and even they made one of the weakest and generic antagonist after hyping it like crazy in first half and ending is also like every mecha ever.

Sep 1, 2023 3:44 AM by Lavi_kun

This was the last thing I was expecting to see as I open MAL.

Hopefully those Zegapains can shine in 2d.

Wow, now that's an unexpected sequel if I ever saw one.

I understand that you watched this show. Would you recommend watching it?

I wouldn't and i mentioned the reasons already but I will watch the sequel to see if they could improve something since I really like the concept but man the character writing,pacing,mystery reveals all are way too dissapointing and even the action part is so boring because low standards cg mecha.

Do you find it boring and not living up to expectations? Or is there some kind of plot holes and delusional development?

Wow didn't expected this to come-back, the concept and first half was really very interesting but later on it was a complete mess and Dissapointment let's see how this sequel goes.

I understand that you watched this show. Would you recommend watching it?

A 2006 anime getting a sequel, and there are people who think No Game No life won't come back because it's been too long. :3

I've never watched this anime, when I remember I'll pick it up to see.

Somebody sure seems to care about Zegapain - I never saw the series so I wouldn't really be able to tell why. Doesn't really seem like something worth digging up, though again I wouldn't really know, other. I saw someone mention that this was the first leading role for Kana Hanazawa, which means something to someone, not me though.
