Funimation announced the third and final installment in the film trilogy for the mecha franchise Eureka Seven with Eureka: Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution.
The film is set after the events of its previous film. During the New York City Comic-Con, Funimation announced this film slated to be in theaters sometime in 2022 for the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. No specific date was announced at this time.
Here’s a brief synopsis for Eureka: Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution:
Eureka has lived alone in atonement for ten years, hated by the world and blamed for the chaos that destroyed everything. In a fateful encounter, she receives an order to protect Iris, a new “Eureka,” who has the ability to produce Scab Corals. It’s a fateful meeting between the former Eureka, who has lost her powers, and Iris, who fears her powers. When Eureka is asked to put her life on the line as a new crisis arises, will Eureka have the strength to protect Iris and the world? What future awaits her at the end of her journey? The film is Eureka’s final journey that she and Iris walk together. Waiting for Eureka at the end of her journey is “a girl’s end” and “a girl’s beginning” where the future carved out by Hi-Evolution awaits.
Tomoki Kyoda directed the movie.

Also at New York City Comic-Con 2021, Funimation announced Sing a Bit of Harmony for a theatrical release date is January 2022 for United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Sing a Bit of Harmony tells the story of a beautiful and mysterious Shion (Tao Tsuchiya) who transfers to Keibu High School where she quickly becomes popular for her open-hearted personality and exceptional athletic talent, but she turns out to be an AI (artificial intelligence) in the testing phase! Shion’s goal is to bring chronic loner Satomi (Haruka Fukuhara) “happiness.” But her strategy is something no human would expect: she serenades Satomi in the middle of the classroom. After finding out that Shion is an AI, Satomi and her childhood friend, engineering geek Toma (Asuka Kudo), steadily warm up to the new student. Along with the popular and attractive Gotchan (Kazuyuki Okitsu), the strong-willed Aya (Mikako Komatsu), and judo club member “Thunder” (Satoshi Hino), they become more and more moved by Shion’s singing voice and earnestness even as her antics bewilder them. But what Shion does for Satomi’s sake ends up involving them all in some serious pandemonium. Get ready for a heartwarming story of a not quite market-ready AI and her classmates!
