 It was announced at Tales of Festival 2015 that a TV anime series of Tales of Zestiria will air in 2016. Ufotable will animate the series, which is an adaptation of the PlayStation 3 role-playing game of the same name released in January 2015. An anime prequel titled Tales of Zestiria: Doushi no Yoake, also animated by ufotable, aired in December 2014.Tales of Zestiria is the 15th entry and the 20th anniversary title in Bandai Namco Studios' Tales series. It follows Sorey, who is blessed with powers by a mystical spirit race known as the Seraphim who act as a stabilizing force in the land. He travels to free the land of Glenwood from the threat of the Hellion, creatures spawned by negative emotions. Promotion video Source: Hachima Kikou Tales of 20th Anniversary Animation on MAL |

| Awesome news! |
 |
| Though I want to play Tales of series I've never got a chance to. I've only have PS2 ans PSP for it. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| So ufotable finally making their huge step. Nice seeing them animate more |
| Ufotable animating another game? Interesting. |
| That's some interesting news.The special was okay but it showed a lot of potential.Not sure how it will work as an anime though |
 |
| The prequel was pretty lame, but damn visuals. The setting has potential. Still doubt it will be something great. |
 |
| One of my most hyped news this year! Now all we need is a Tales of Xillia anime adaption... The announcement PV (that hasn't been publicly released yet) supposedly shows a new white-haired character and teasing a "continuation" of sorts. One speculation made was that the upcoming anime adaption may in fact be a sequel to the original game. But we'll have to wait and see.

| Ufotable? I will try this for sure. |
| Looks good. Nice chara designs too. |
| So much fooooking hype! I prefer Xillia though, but this will be good. |
"Hi!" |
| I watched it's ova and I'm pretty impressed... Though I still haven't played...this is still a wonderful news.. especially because ufotable(awesome graphics) will make it |
Agafin said: Ufotable animating another game? Interesting. Definitely. If God Eater turns out good, I'll be watching this also. |
| hm, i guess i might watch it. i should check out the prologue first though. |
 |
| Might watch for bishounen white-haired guy. That's all anime is nowadays. |
| "Hey, assbutt!"—Castiel, Supernatural "Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell. |
| Oh ufotable? Definitely looking forward to it then. |
| Yay Now, this adaptation better be good. But hey, I have faith in Ufo. Even though the prequel was meh, this is a tales game after all. I expect character-driven story or :< yehhhhh (the character is a cameo boss but who cares it's awesome) |
 |
| maybe they'll make something good for once |
| omg amazing news one after another.. |
| Ufotable give us a Tsukihime adaptation instead |
 All credit goes to Sacred. |
| Awesome, another ufotable series to look forward to next year. Glad to be seeing ufotable being quite active. Knowing ufotable this will probably be 2-cour. Hoping the rest of the staff will be also be great. |
Hazuk4shii said: maybe they'll make something good for once they gave us Gyo already tho :) |
|
| I hope Ufotable must care about their Type-Moon Franchise instead of other video games into anime adaptation. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Higher quality key visual: PV: |
| I'm quite interested in it,but I hope one day to see Xillia as an anime. |
| HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I CAN'T EVEN EXPRESS MY HAPPINESS ASSDDFGJHK I absolutely LOVE the Tales series, and I've been playing them as well. (Waiting for Zestiria European release though) THIS WIL BE AWESOME |
| New adapation?! Im in |
 |
| I'll give it a shot. Looks promising especially with those visuals. |
 |
| Definitely gonna watch this. |

Other Tales of anime include the "Tales of Eternia" television anime series, the "Tales of Phantasia" video anime series, "Tales of the Abyss" television anime series, the "Tales of Vesperia ~The First Strike~" film, and the "Tales of Symphonia the Animation" video anime series. Holy shit now I'm even more hyped, this is going to be amazing. 2 TV series (3 if they're making Tales of Zestiria a TV series as well), 1 film, 2 OVA series and already 1 special. Also that PV looked awesome, based ufotable. All of these already exist. Already aired. |

 |
| I've heard a lot of good things about the game series, so I'll be sure to give this a look. With ufotable on board, this should look great (and it most definitely does look great in that PV). On top of that, the music used in the trailer is pretty cool. |

Didn't read it properly. (-_-) Oh well, still extremely hyped for this and hope ufotable do re-adaptations of Tales of Eternia sometime seeing that one is quite old and got a terrible adaptation. |

D-Joe said: Stark700 said: Well now I am interested in this. Hope they can live up the hype especially for fans of the game Hype? you mean rage of Japanese tales fans right? The major complaints were their waifu not getting enough screen time and in game bugs. Only one of the two will show up in the actual anime adaptation. I've heard hardly any complaints of the cast or story itself. |
"Hi!" |
| Another Tales of anime adaptation. It's bound to fail. I call it. Games are awesome, anime series fail badly. |

I've heard hardly any complaints of the cast or story itself. The story is also pretty bad and non-sense you know, if it just Alicia fans complaint it won't be that big and get a lot of very serious 1 star reviews from fans. http://www.amazon.co.jp/product-reviews/B00O9SR9NK/ref=dp_db_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 Basically, none of any main characters match "Zestiria" meaning in ToZ. those 1 stars though... so many |
 |
| This is a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed the special and the game should be good. Shame no Tales of Xillia anime though. |
 |
| Well at least they can't make this one WORSE. Zestria is already bottom of the barrel as it is. |
 |
| So predictable after watching the special and yeah I love the special and cant wait for this. |
