A new visual for Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart has also been shared officially, prominently featuring Penem alongside other key agents in striking character artwork.
The team for Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart reunites many key contributors from the 2014 original. Seiji Mizushima directs with a screenplay by Gen Urobuchi of NITROPLUS and character designs by Masatsugu Saito. Kanetake Ebikawa, Junya Ishigaki, and Takayuki Yanase handle mechanical designs while NARASAKI composes the music.
This production at Toei Animation expands the universe with additional specialized staff across supervision and technical roles. The sequel promises to deliver the same high-quality blend of compelling storytelling and dynamic visuals that made the first film stand out.
What is Expelled From Paradise about?
Expelled from Paradise premiered in Japanese theaters back in 2014. Aniplex of America organized fifteen special screenings in the United States during December that same year. The sci-fi movie centers on Angela Balzac, an operative living within a virtual society aboard a space station. She receives a physical body to pursue a hacker on the barren surface of Earth. Partnering with a local named Dingo, she hunts for the enigmatic Frontier Setter and begins to value the experiences possible only in a real organic form.
Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart continues the tale set in motion by Angela’s rebellion, as new agents confront the escaped “Fallen” who threaten DEVA from their hidden bases on the hazardous planet. The story delves deeper into themes of digital existence versus physical reality while delivering intense mecha action sequences against the backdrop of a post-Nano Hazard world.
With the November 13, 2026 Japanese premiere approaching, Expelled from Paradise: Resonance of the Heart continues to share new materials that introduce both familiar creative voices and fresh characters. Further details about the story and additional cast are expected in the coming months.
