The official website for the Aldnoah.Zero television anime by writer Gen Urobuchi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Psycho-Pass, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet) began streaming the second commercial for the show on Sunday.

The video features the following narration:

Even though that time will surely come, I don't even have the time to prepare myself for it.

At that moment, what kind of regret will I have?

But I can't bear it to just patiently wait.

The first commercial outlined the premise of the story: In 1972, a hypergate was discovered on the surface of the moon. However, war breaks between humans on Earth and those who immigrated to Mars.

The main cast for the July anime includes:
