It’s a Japanese manga series written by HiRock-Sensei and illustrated by Komi Shinya-Sensei. It was serialized in “Grand Jump” and “Shōnen Jump+” from 2015 to 2019. It concluded with 98 episodes, 14 volumes in total.
A sequel manga titled “Ex-Arm EXA” has now been serialized. The story is set in the world which is five years later than that of Ex-Arm and some of the characters continue to appear too. It’s scheduled to premiere in January 2021.
All right, so it’s concluded, huh? You said it has 98 episodes, right? Then they all might cover in two Seasons in anime.
It was supposed to air in July 2020 but it postponed to January 2021 after all. It was a big postponement not from July to October but to January so there will be 24 episodes in total with 2 Seasons, like you said!

Outline of Ex-Arm!

The story is set in 2014.
The main protagonist, Natsume Akira, a high school boy, has had a phobia of electrical devices since he was a little boy. Not only by sending and receiving emails but he feels dizzy also by looking at the screen. He has wanted to improve such condition he’s had.
However, he has a mysterious power.
He has an ability to diagnose the electrical devices, teling “what is wrong with the devices” just by touching them since he was born. However, he feels such a strong diziness every time he uses the ability so he cannot often use it. He doesn’t even think that it’s something he’s good at.
Akira asks his older brother how he can be smarter and more popular like him.
His brother says, “Try hard!” Then he also gives him a positive advice; “If you want to change yourself, take a step forward anyhow!”
One day, Akira goes to the convenience store at midnight and sees a girl, getting involved with the delinquents. Since there are multiple of them, he is going to ignore it and go home but.
He is brave enough to decide to fight against them.
However, in the next moment…… The truck jumps in right in front of him and……
Now, the story is set back to Tokyo in 2030.
In 2030, the science technology is dramatically developed and the crimes are more serious.
The police accepts the android as their excellent partner, supporting shoot-out or hand-to-hand battles.
The police retrieve and activate such highly advanced AI and superweapon called Ex-Arm.
It’s actually not the weapon available to be developed in the technology in 2030 and they retrieve the “00,” which was missing in the present mission. Ex-Arm series has various forms and the enemy that was stolen the “00” has the killer who has epipped the “08” and go for it, ending up being in the desperate situation.
We’ll die anyhow, so we’ll just get over this crisis, using the “00.”
Thinking that way, a pair of the police, who are driven into a corner, opens the trunk……
Then it turns out that the AI is actually just Akira’s brain……!
Isn’t this the horror?
Nope, from here…… Oh wait. Maybe it would be easier for you to watch anime, starting to air in January! After this, Akira and Android girl will investigate various cases, involved over the Ex-Arm! Lots of action scenes too!
Already! This is all for today! We’ll see you all at the next article!
Bye-bye~!
