'Infini-T Force' Air Date, Spoilers: Tatsunoko Celebrates 55th Anniversary With New 3DCG Anime Series
A new team of superheroes will rise from a simple wish in the upcoming 3DCG Japanese anime series, "Infini-T Force." The series also comes just in time for Tatsunoko Production's 55th anniversary.
The series is based on an original manga that tells the story of a girl named Emi, who has come upon a magical pencil with the ability to grant any wish. When she gets caught up in a convenience store robbery one day, she calls upon the power of the magical pencil and wishes for a hero to save everyone from harm.
In answer to her heartfelt wish, four heroes emerge to save everyone and thus change the course of the future.
But while this may be the core base of the upcoming anime adaptation, the series will reportedly feature a different story. According to Crunchyroll, the series will be launched to celebrate the 55th anniversary of Tatsunoko Production, and as such will feature four heroes from the production company's most enduring animated series, which include: "Science Ninja Team Gatchaman," "Casshan," "Tekkaman: The Space Knight" and "Hurrican Polymar."
Popular Japanese pop-rock band, flumpool, is all set to perform the series' opening theme titled, "To be continued...," while EDDA will be performing "Tick-Tock" as the series' ending theme.
The upcoming anime series is directed by Kiyotaka Suzuki with animation done by Digital Frontier. A promotional video has been released on Tatsunoko's official YouTube channel.
An early screening has also just been held at Shinjuku Piccadilly in Japan last Sunday, Sept. 17. Some concerns have also been raised by fans regarding the upcoming series' 3DCG format, judging by how other series that used the same format like, "Berserk," suffered from poorly animated fight scenes.
"Infini-T Force" premieres on Tuesday, Oct. 3, late night at 1:59 a.m. JST on Nippon TV. Information on other broadcast schedules and online resources will be available at a later date on the series' official site.
