What happens when you take this:
And turn it into this:
If you guessed “daily life show about Shotaro Kaneda,” then you are psychic or already heard the news because I never would have guessed that. Yes, we’re getting a new Tetsujin show for the 50th anniversary of the original TV anime from 1963. Tetsujin 28-go Gao will be a little different, focused on the life of the main human character Shotaro Kaneda instead of regular super robot battles in the city, though that will still be part of the show because you can totally see Black Ox back there. The artistic change to what’s being called “pop art” is just a style update for the modern era. It’s goofy colorful, but this is a cartoon for kids to love new and parents/grandparents to feel nostalgic over.
You can look forward to broadcast starting on April 6th, so fansubs probably a day or two after that.
