Gunstar Rhapsody

Gunstar Rhapsody is an upcoming Japanese animated science fiction television series animated by a collection of studios, but mainly by Studio Acesky, CygamesPictures, Eight Bit, and Gonzo. This is another anime directed by Chaossy, after directing the first season of Dragonwulf. The series will air for 22 weeks starting in July 2021.

The anime takes place in the year 2166, where space travel is casual and easy to do. Bounty hunters, criminals, and other pests of the world are covering the known solar systems, and a group of washed-up 30-something/40-something bounty hunters is at the bottom of the scorecard.

Production
Production of the anime started in the summer of 2019, with SurgeAnime related animation studios building the blueprints of the series, with Studio D maintaining the pre-production. The animation will start sometime in September 2020, when Dragonwulf Season 1's animation is supposed to end.

Pre-animation started in August of 2020, with some concept art being made and scripts being written from the blueprints. Storyboards for the first eleven episodes were made from the early spring 2020 until the summer of 2020.
