Estab Life

Square Enix has announced new cross-media project Estab Life, headed by the creator of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Gorou Taniguchi.

Here’s a rundown on the new project:

Announcing Gorou Taniguchi’s original project “Estab Life”!

At the Fuji TV “+Ultra” new lineup presentation held on January 20th, we announced the original project “Estab Life” by Gorou Taniguchi of the “Code Geass” series!
And the project PV and visuals have been released!

The stage of this project is the experimental city “Tokyo” controlled by AI.

The stage for this project is the AI-controlled experimental city of Tokyo, a diversity world where real cities have evolved into Galapagos-like clusters with their own individual quirks, and where a variety of humanoid races such as normal people, beasts, cyborgs, and demons live within the city.

The story is set in “Tokyo,” a city that has been magically transformed by Gorou Taniguchi, and will unfold in a variety of media, including TV anime, smartphone games, and movies.

The TV anime “Estabh Life Great Escape” is based on the loose and cute girls of “What’s Your Order, Usagi? The series is directed by Hiroyuki Hashimoto, who has an established reputation for his portrayal of cute girls in their daily lives, with series composition and script by Shoji Gaito of “Full Metal Panic! as the series composition and script, Yusuke Kozaki of “Pokemon Go” as the character design draft, and Polygon Pictures of “Knights of Sidonia” as the animation production.

The TV broadcast is scheduled for April 2022 on Fuji TV’s “+Ultra” and other channels. At the same time, it will be distributed worldwide outside of Asia via Crunchyroll.

The smartphone game “Estab Life Unity Memories” will be produced by Square Enix, which has created some of the best global games such as the “Dragon Quest” series and the “Final Fantasy” series.

The movie “Estab Life Revenger’s Road” will be directed and written by the creator of this world himself, Gorou Taniguchi, and will depict a story that is different from both the TV anime and the game.

Outline of Gorou Taniguchi’s original project “Estab Life”

Introduction

The world of “Estab Life” is…

A time in the distant future. The world’s population has peaked and is on the decline

In order to ensure the prosperity of the species, humanity has created an AI to manage the ecosystem, and has conducted an “experiment in human diversification. They created “diverse races” by genetically modifying everyman, beastman, demon, etc., and “diverse cities” called “clusters” surrounded by walls.

Each of the many “clusters” has its own unique culture, and humans with the proper skills live there. They live under the constant control of AI to ensure that they do not perish…
