The series will launch in Japan in spring of 2010. The ufotable anime studio produced the earlier Sylvarant Arc video series (pictured at right) in 2007, although the staff of the new anime series has yet to be announced.
The two anime series adapt the story from Bandai Namco Games' Tales of Symphonia fantasy role-playing games, but focus on two different parallel worlds. Source:ANN
