A new anime project for Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor, subtitled The Beyond, was announced at the franchise's Soushi Minashiro Seitan-sai event on Thursday. King Records launched an official website, revealing a key visual (pictured). The company will unveil a promotional video on January 6, 2017.

Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor is an original mecha franchise by animation studio Xebec that began in 2004. The anime series has since received a prequel television special in 2005, an anime film in 2010, and a second season that aired in split cours in Winter and Fall in 2015.

Funimation licensed the television anime and the film in 2011 and released them on home video in 2012. Crunchyroll streamed the second season with subtitles as it aired in Japan.

The franchise also inspired a light novel by Tow Ubukata (Mardock Scramble, Le Chevalier d'Eon), two manga adaptations, a video game in 2005, and numerous music and drama CDs.
