In September 2012, a new anime project based on Zettai Karen Children was announced by Weekly Shōnen Sunday.[3] It was later revealed that it would be an original spin-off series focused on the leader of the criminal organization P.A.N.D.R.A., Kyōsuke Hyōbu. The series was produced by Manglobe and ran for 12 episodes on TV Tokyo and other stations from January 7 to March 25, 2013.[4] New additions to the cast include Nao Tōyama as Yūgiri and Junichi Suwabe as Andy Hinomiya while almost all characters from the first TV Series are voiced by the same actors from then.[5][6][7] The series, while similar in setting and characters, is darker and more serious in plot and tone than the original Zettai Karen Children series.[8][9] The opening song is "Last Resolution" by Emblem of The Unlimited and has two versions, one in English and the other in Japanese. It also has eight ending songs: "Outlaws" by Eyelis, "Brightest Light" by Yuichi Nakamura and Kishō Taniyama, "Darkness Night" (another version of "Brightest Light) by Kōji Yusa & Junichi Suwabe, "Brand New Eden" by Kōji Yusa, "Advent" by Kōji Yusa, another arrangement of "Darkness Night", titled "Darkness Night (Hyōbu Arrange.)", performed by Kōji Yusa and Junichi Suwabe, "Sora no Hate" (空の涯て, "End of the Sky") by Eyelis, and a secondary arrangement of "Darkness Night" called "Darkness Night (Hinomiya Arrange.)" performed by Kōji Yusa and Junichi Suwabe. An insert song, "Mirai Monogatari" (未来物語, "Future Story"), performed by Nao Tōyama, was used in the final episode.[10]

The series has been streamed by Crunchyroll.[9][11] In December 2014, Sentai Filmworks announced that they have licensed the series.[8] It was released on DVD and Blu-ray in Japanese with English subtitles on April 21, 2015.[12][13][14]
