“I am happy to be able to portray the world of Osamu Tezuka’s Phoenix: Eden17, a film I have loved since I was a child, with my own music. I’m really glad. When I saw the script and animation, I imagined the sound immediately. During production, the world I had in mind was one I had never encountered before and was so vast in scale that I wondered if I would be able to meet my deadline. Before I knew it, it was a race against time. Phoenix’s Sound Scene: Eden17 focuses on the dynamic and mysterious orchestra. I hope you like it.”
Statement from Takatsugu Muramatsu
The anime is based on Osamu Tezuka’s incomplete Phoenix manga. The series has a total of 12 volumes and each episode tells a separate story set in a different era. It was originally serialized from 1954 to 1988 in various magazines. The story never ends because Osamu Tezuka died in 1989 from stomach cancer. He is a famous author of many works, including Astro Boy, Dororo, Black Jack, etc. He played an important role in popularizing manga and is often called the “godfather of manga”.
Viz Media has published all volumes in English. The licensor describes the plot as follows:
With enormous historical influence, this self-contained opening volume in Osamu Tezuka’s acclaimed Phoenix saga is an epic account of the human spirit in a time of chaos and war, where the future will be Warrior Nagi and his crew struggle against the elements, invaders, and history itself.
