The series will be released by Sentai for home video audiences in Q2 2022, with no other information about the release confirmed as of now. Obsolete comes from Fate/Zero creator Gen Urobuchi, and released in 2019, where it aired for 12 episodes before finishing its run. The series stars Masahiko Tanaka, Toshiyuki Morikawa, Jin Yamanoi, Wataru Takagi, and Ryuzaburo Otomo.
“In 2014, aliens revealed themselves to request trade with humanity,” reads the official synopsis for the anime. “In exchange for limestone, they would provide a consciousness-controlled general-use robot known as an “Exoframe.” Cheaper than an aircraft, tank, or firearm, and easy enough for anyone to operate, the “Exoframe” spreads change throughout the world in the blink of an eye.”
