Studio 4°C announced the main cast and additional staff for the Hi no Tori: Eden no Sora (PHOENIX: EDEN17) original net anime on Friday. The anime is scheduled to debut worldwide on Disney+ on September 13.

Happinet Phantom Studios opened an official website for a movie version of the net anime featuring an alternative ending titled Hi no Tori: Eden no Hana (Phoenix: Reminiscence of Flower), revealing a teaser visual (pictured) and a teaser trailer. The movie will open in Japanese theaters on November 3.

Shoujirou Nishimi (Mutafukaz) is helming the anime at Studio 4°C. Tatsuzou Nishida (Bakemono no Ko animation director) is the character designer and chief animation director.

The anime adapts Osamu Tezuka's Hi no Tori (Phoenix) manga, which originally began in July 1954 in Manga Shounen but did not finish due to the magazine's suspension in May 1955. A new story began in Shoujo Club the following May, but it also was not completed and ended in December 1957. Tezuka began writing a new story for the series in January 1967 in COM, however, it remains incomplete due to his death in February 1989.

Disney doing a remake of one of Tezuka's greatest works

You jest, but this particular storyline has never before been adapted and therefore isn't a remake.

This is bizarre. Why was the name of the anime changed from フェニックス to 火の鳥?

Alright everyone! I will be predicting the alternate ending months before this hits theaters. I predict both versions will end with teasers for more Phoenix anime! Eden no Sora will tease the "Space" (aka "Universe") arc, which also has 宙 in the title. Makimura is a major character in both arcs.

Eden no Hana will tease "Resurrection," the next story to take place after this one.

I'm new to Disney Japan, but in 2023 the idea of another remake from them doesn't look good.
