by “Superman Pro Wrestling,” revitalizing the Showa era, will be revived in the Reiwa era.
“Weekly Shonen Jump” has produced countless masterpieces, many of which have been made into anime to the delight of fans. Furthermore, recently, there have been more and more opportunities for nostalgic works from the Showa and Heisei eras to be made into anime for the first time or re-animated, and many people may be wondering where to start. This time, we will look back at Jump works scheduled to be made into anime in 2024.
“Kinnikuman” Perfect Superhuman Ancestor Edition
“Kinnikuman” (written by Yudetamago), which began serialization in 1979, depicts battles between the main character Kinnikuman and various superhumans such as Terryman and Robin Mask. It was also made into an anime in 1983. I am. From 2011 to the present, a new series has been serialized on Weekly Playboy’s news site “Weekly Pre-NEWS,” and from July 2024, a sequel to “Kinniku Star Throne Contest” (anime broadcast from 1991 to 1992) will be published. It has been decided that the “Perfect Superhuman Ancestor (Perfect Origin) Edition” will be broadcast.
This is a story in which an army of three superhumans with colored stories of yesteryear, such as the righteous superhuman, the devil superhuman, and the perfect superhuman, fight for a cause. The first PV will be released on December 29, 2023, featuring Kinnikuman (CV: Mamoru Miyano), Prince Kamehame (CV: Akira Kamiya), and others, and although the lines are only Kinnikuman’s special move “Wind,” there is also a scene where they shout out the name “Hayashi Kazan.”
The animation production will be done by Production IG, which has worked on many famous works such as the Ghost in the Shell series, and I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of images they will create for the battle scenes in Kinnikuman. In addition, Akira Kamiya, who has been the voice actor for Kinnikuman for many years, has been changed to the role of Mayumi Kinniku, the father of Prince Kamehame and Kinnikuman, and the voice of the main character has been handed over to Mamoru Miyano, which fans are excited about. However, this is a point that must be considered. “Kinnikuman” Perfect Superhuman Ancestor Edition is scheduled to be broadcast every Sunday at 11:30 pm on 28 CBC/TBS stations nationwide.
