Edens Zero is an anime that takes place in a fictional space-faring universe that is inhabited by humans, aliens, and robots who can feel emotions. The universe is divided into smaller cosmos, with the Sakura Cosmos being the cosmos where the story begins! Most planets and locations have futuristic sci-fi elements, along with fantasy stuff as well. The universe of Edens Zero is also the home to various cosmic creatures, such as cybernetic dragons that swarm in a galaxy bordering the Sakura Cosmos called Dragonfall, and there are monsters like Chronophage that can devour planets and they can permanently rewind their time, creating alternate histories without causing time paradoxes. All of these revelations were made in Edens Zero Season 1, as fans now await Season 2.
The story of Edens Zero is written by the creator of Fairy Tail, which is one of those classic shonen anime of all time! It’s one of the world’s most popular shonen anime series. However, Fairy Tail’s creator Hiro Mashima finished the original manga in 2017 before starting his next project in 2018. Mashima’s next manga, ‘Edens Zero,’ was released in 2018. It received positive feedback! Edens Zero is a sci-fi adventure shonen anime that started airing on April 11, 2021. It holds a high rating and is famous, especially amongst Fairy tail fans.

Netflix and other crew members of the anime are pretty tight-lipped about Edens Zero Season 2. Though Edens Zero Season 2 was announced in September 2021, the anime’s director Yuji Suzuki sadly passed away in September, before the original broadcast had concluded. The director for any upcoming Edens Zero projects is not known despite the new announcement. Previously, Edens Zero Season 2 was hinted at by the official Japanese Twitter page after the season 1 finale completed airing on Japanese television. The Official page tweeted that “Shiki’s adventure will continue,” which indicates that more content was being planned back then.

Thankfully, many fans are waiting for season 2 because the manga that the television series is adapting is still ongoing. Edens Zero’s Episode 25 of Season 1 has been adapted roughly up to chapter 68 in the manga. The manga has a total of 169 chapters that have currently been published in Japan, meaning that there is lots of material to create Edens Zero into even the fourth season! This is a piece of great news, and there’s a high chance that Edens Zero will return in October 2022 on the Summer anime slate.

The story features Shiki, who is a human who has been brought up by the robot demon king called Ziggy. After Ziggi’s death, he comes to know about his father’s unaccomplished mission of finding the Mother. He has always been around robots till he meets Rebecca and her companion Happy, and they are unaware that they are Granbell’s first visitors in a whole century. They have come to Granbell to make fun videos for their B-Cube channel (something like a Youtube channel), but soon they meet Shiki, who is socially awkward. Soon Grambell becomes dangerous, and they all leave off to explore the Sakura Cosmos.
They hope to make more fun videos and find Mother, who is a space goddess. Shiki wants to make more friends and get more companions because he’s inspired by the words of his late grandfather. The adventure won’t be easy, especially because no one has seen Mother before, but Shiki and his friends are determined to reach their common goal. They want to explore the boundless places of space together.

What is ‘Edens Zero’ based on, according to the creator, Hiro Mashima?
Hiro Mashima, the creator of ‘Fairy Tail’ and ‘Edens Zero’ originally anticipated using another sword and sorcery setting, but that might have been too similar to his previous manga. So rather than a normal fantasy like Fairy Tail, he decided on creating a “space fantasy” adventure series. He coined the term “space fantasy” from his own misinterpretation when he was a kid. S.F. depicts science fiction in Japan. He also said that the genre’s unpopularity in shōnen was an influence, and this was a challenge he wanted to overcome.
Mashima has described that his approach while writing Edens Zero has been something in between that of Rave Master and Fairy Tail. He has combined the predetermined story elements with the new ideas that he drew each week so that he can feel the story on a regular basis. In 2021, Hiro Mashima stated that Edens Zero would continue to have the themes of friendship, family, fantasy, and battles from Fairy Tail, but it may change slightly by the end when the mystery character, Mother is revealed.
