"OBSOLETE" Blu-ray Introduction

A complete collection of popular sci-fi anime
OBSOLETE is a completely original, full-CG animation series created and written by the eccentric Gen Urobuchi (Nitroplus). Produced by the up-and-coming CG animation studio Takeemon and directed by Hiroki Yamada and Seiichi Shirato, this ambitious work is now available on Blu-ray, featuring all 12 episodes.

Original world view and story

The story begins with aliens arriving on Earth and offering incredible technology in exchange for ordinary rocks. Nearly every country and company in the world seizes the opportunity, and within a few years, giant robots called EXOFRAMEs are being used in many industrial sectors. However, perhaps more caution should have been exercised against the "aliens who bring gifts." The balance of global military power is suddenly upset, and forces that hate their neighbors and covet their resources see an opportunity to attack.

Episode structure and story expansion

Each episode is a standalone story, delving deeply into the socio-economic and military impacts of alien contact into the 25th century. Early episodes focus on the decades after the alien arrival, carefully exploring the impact of a terrorist organization using banned exoskeletons on the international battlefield. The story goes beyond mere robot action to explore multi-layered themes such as the changes technology brings to society, conflict between nations, and ethical issues. The series blends science fiction elements with sharp insights into real-world situations.

The richness of the content

This Blu-ray contains all 12 episodes of the CG animation. Bonus footage includes the clean ending of "Stardust Angel Konoka," animation, and a clean version of the tribute to "VOTOMS (Armored Trooper Votoms)." You can also enjoy a special video of the anime "Hikarikara Tenshi Konoka★Angel" that appears in the film.

Impressive CG animation

A major feature of "OBSOLETE" is the meticulous CG animation by Studio Takeemon. With expressiveness that sets it apart from conventional animation, it vividly depicts futuristic society and the giant robot EXOFRAME. In particular, the battle scenes, with their weighty movements and detailed mechanical depictions, create a powerful visual experience. The film has been highly praised by anime fans as a work that demonstrates new possibilities for CG animation.

Gen Urobuchi's vision of the future society

This work fully showcases the worldview of Gen Urobuchi, known for numerous hit works such as "FATE/ZERO" and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica." It calmly and meticulously depicts the light and shadow brought about by technological advances. Rather than a simple dichotomy of good and evil, the storytelling delves into issues from various perspectives, a unique appeal of Urobuchi's work. Through the setting of a "gift from aliens," it sharply questions the essence of modern society and international relations.

A work that will appeal strongly to sci-fi fans

"OBSOLETE" is a must-watch for hardcore sci-fi fans. It reinterprets classic sci-fi themes, such as the social impact of technology, the shifting military balance, and the relationship between humanity and aliens, from a modern perspective. While each episode is a standalone story, they are connected within a larger worldview, allowing viewers to discover new things with each viewing. Highly recommended not only for sci-fi enthusiasts, but also for anyone interested in social issues and near-future technology. Enjoy "OBSOLETE," which combines a vision of future society with human drama, on high-quality Blu-ray.
