During the final days of World War II, the Japanese military is secretly developing a superweapon that will turn the tides of war and save the Japanese Empire. After twenty-seven failed attempts, the project gives fruit: a three-stories high, remote-controlled robot. The metal man is christened Tetsujin 28-go. The war, however, is over. Rather than becoming the military’s “ace in the hole”, Tetsujin becomes a civilian robot. Under the control of Shotaro Kaneda, the twelve-year-old son of Tetsujin’s developer, the iron giant is put to work stopping criminals and enemy robots.
Imagi International has opened a website features its prototype work on a Tetsujin 28 full CG animation. Imagi and Japanese animation company Hikari Productions have not announced any plans to actually develop a new Tetsujin 28 animation work. Apparently this original footage was produced a year or more ago but never previously released for public viewing. All I can say is wow! the manga is really old, but the trailer that Imagi has released is awesome pity there is still no plans to bring it to the big screen. Check out the trailer below.
