CATDOLL: The second season of "Garugantia of the Verdurous Planet" will be released as a novel, and the first volume will be released on August 29

The second season of the TV animation of "Garugantia on the Verdurous Planet", which was written and written by Gen Urobuchi, has been delayed for various reasons, and the plot of the second season will be presented in the form of a novel. Now, the first volume of the novel version has been confirmed to be released on August 29, and the details have been announced.

The novel version to be released on August 29th is officially named "Garugantia of the Verdurous Planet - Far Away, the World of Encounter - Part 1". The original work is Okeranos, the author is Daishiro Tanimura, the character design and illustrations are by Hanahal Naruko, the mechanical design is by Makoto Ishiwatari (Nitroplus), and the supervision is Kazuya Murata.

In the sequel novel released this time, the story is set on land instead of the ocean. Not only will the members of Garugantia from the animation continue to be active, but new characters will also appear. The plot will also touch upon the core of the entire series. Among them, the most interesting point is that a robot very similar to Chamber will appear.

In addition, the novel also includes character drawings and mechanical settings drawn by the production team for the second season of the TV animation. Now some of the setting drawings have been released, including the passionate and unrestrained boy Russell, the silver-haired military-uniformed beautiful girl Skaia and the humanoid robot driven by Skaia. Russell and Skaia were originally supposed to be the male and female protagonists of the second season of the TV animation, but unfortunately the plan for the second season has been aborted.

Finally, there is the appearance of Ryder, the protagonist of Season 1, in Season 2. The story of Season 2 takes place about two years after the OVA "Distant Cruise Route", and the 18-year-old Ryder has become more handsome. Since there is a "first volume", there must be a "second volume". In addition to the character settings, SF and world view settings, the second volume also has the commentary of Kazuya Murata.

Garugantia on the Verdurous Planet is an original SF animation produced by Production IG, directed by Murata Kazuya and written by Gen Urobuchi, and aired from April to June 2013. The OVA "Distant Tour Route" takes place half a year after the TV animation finale, while the novel version takes place about two years after the OVA, and is the orthodox sequel to the entire series.

Novel version of the story:

Russell is a young man who makes a living by driving away dangerous creatures such as whale squids in the sea off the coast of the land country of Liberistan. He encounters the incredible creature Riba in the deep sea. Russell decides to use Riba's ability to greatly improve the robot's maneuverability and try his luck in the safe homeland. On the other hand, Skaia, the daughter of the minister of the hostile country Augustonia, lives a boring life all day long, but this life changes dramatically after she is chosen as the driver of a humanoid robot. The boy who longs for land and the girl who pursues freedom, their encounter with the huge fleet Gargantia, opens the prelude to a new story...
