It has been announced that the anime "Gamera -Rebirth-" from the monster movie "Gamera" series will be broadcast on NHK General TV every Saturday at 11:45 pm starting in April. The anime, which began streaming on Netflix in September 2023, will be broadcast as a TV anime.
The anime is set in the summer of 1989, when the monster Gyaos suddenly attacks Tokyo. Boko, Joe, Junichi, and others are on their last summer vacation as elementary school students, and they stand frozen in the ruins of a town. Just as Gyaos sets his sights on them, the giant monster Gamera appears.
Hiroyuki Seshita, known for "Knights of Sidonia" and the Godzilla series, is the director, Kenta Ihara, known for "The Saga of Tanya the Evil," wrote the script, and Miki Takahama, who has worked on all the films since the "Heisei Gamera" series, is in charge of monster design. ENGI produced the film. Voice actors include Hisako Kanemoto, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Aki Toyosaki, and Subaru Kimura.
Gamera is a monster that appears in the special effects film "Gamera the Giant Monster" released by Daiei in 1965, and is modeled after a turtle. He is a child who protects people from dangers on Earth and a champion of justice, and flies around in a circular saucer shape. After "Gamera the Giant Monster," a total of eight films were produced as the "Showa Gamera" series, including "Gamera the Space Monster." Other series include the "Heisei Gamera" series and "Gamera: Little Braves."
