It has been announced that Kimura Fuuta's manga "Fate Rewinder," currently being serialized in "Monthly CoroCoro Comic" (Shogakukan), will be adapted into a TV anime. The theme of the work is "time leap x action," and it is a popular work that achieved the feat of being ranked first in the magazine's popularity survey for 12 consecutive months, an unprecedented feat. The anime will be directed by Matsumoto Rie, known for "Blood Blockade Battlefront" and "GOTCHA!". It will be the first time that Matsumoto has directed a TV anime series since "Blood Blockade Battlefront," about 10 years ago. The anime will be produced by Bones Film, and the staff of "Blood Blockade Battlefront" and "GOTCHA!" will be reuniting. It will be produced by STORY inc., which has produced "Suzume," and this will be their first time working on a TV anime series. A super teaser visual and super teaser PV featuring the main character, Chrono, have been released.
"Fate Rewinder" is a story about heroes who never give up, using a time machine called "Retry Eye" implanted in the right eye to rewind time for people who have died tragic deaths until they find a way to save them. Nine volumes of the comic have been released, and the latest volume 10 will be released on July 28th.
Original author Kimura Fuuta commented, "Rewinder is going to be a TV anime! And it's got an incredibly impressive cast! This is the happiest thing in my life!! I owe it all to everyone at the CoroCoro editorial staff, including my editor Waki-san, my assistants, the Rewinder YouTube channel, my family, and all the CoroCoro readers who have supported Rewinder! Thank you!! I'm looking forward to the day you can see Chrono running around trying to save someone on TV!"
Director Matsumoto said, "'The Rewinder of Fate' is a story about saving people. And as the name suggests, it is a story about going back to the past. The main character, Chrono, travels back and forth between the past and future many times to save the target person from the fate of death (stop), and while he himself is worn out, he steadily records and reflects on his actions, and his heart warms every time he sees him. He also has the pride of saving 'everyone' who is involved in the mission. No matter what the reason, he will never allow someone's future to be taken away for the convenience of others! Although his cost performance and type are the worst, he is the best main character, dazzling in his strictness and ordinaryness. We, the animation staff, will respectfully accompany Chrono and Kimura-sensei, who will never give up on the one chance to save you, even if they fail 1000 times. Everyone! Please look forward to it."
To commemorate the TV anime adaptation, all chapters of the original manga have been made available for free on the web manga site "Weekly CoroCoro Comic." This will be available until 5:59 PM on July 13th. The series will also be holding its first character popularity poll. Voting will be accepted on the special website until August 31st.
