Xam'd: Lost Memories Anime's TV Dates

Releasing Xam'd: Lost Memories through Sony's PlayStation network service may have been a cute attention-grabbing trick, but I have my doubts as to how much of a financial success the anime was in that format. Those unwilling to pay $3 or $4 per episode (and preferably residing in Japan) can finally rest at ease, because Bones has announced the upcoming TV broadcast dates at this week's Tokyo Anime Fair.

MBS: April 11 at 26:25 (effectively April 12)
TOKYO MX: April 15 at 23:30
CBC: April 15 at 26:00 (effectively April 16)

Bones' "nostalgic sci-fi" anime was confirmed to receive some TV loving last month, and the upcoming broadcast comes 9 months after the original debut on PSN. To go with this latest announcement, we added a few artworks in the local gallery, along with a couple of earlier trailers - here and here.



The main character Akiyuki lives on Sentan Island, a land that has preserved its status as a free and peaceful island in a world consumed by fighting between the Northern and Southern Governments. All of this changes when Akiyuki boards a bus along with a mysterious white-haired girl who transforms his arm with the lost memories and power of Xam'd. As Xam'd, Akiyuki goes on a rampage and is saved when a foreign girl with red hair named Nakiami calms him down, taking him back to her postal vessel. Akiyuki now must gain control of his powers and use them against the Northern Government's latest weapons, known as "Humanforms". Travelling the world on a postal vessel, Akiyuki hopes to return home one day, but until then he befriends other passengers on the boat.
