Story Overview and What to Expect
Snowball Earth tells the story of Tetsuo Yabusame, a quiet boy who once saved the world by fighting alien monsters with the help of his giant robot, Yukio. After winning the final battle, Tetsuo disappears for ten years. When he finally returns to Earth, he finds the whole planet covered in ice and snow, like a frozen wasteland.
The anime will follow Tetsuo and Yukio as they travel through this cold and empty world. Along the way, they’ll try to understand what happened to Earth and whether any people are still alive.
The story will focus on survival, uncovering secrets, and rebuilding lost connections in a lonely, frozen world.
