The eighth episode of the new TV anime series "Mashin Hero Wataru," based on the popular anime series "Mashin Genesis Wataru," entitled "【Viewer discretion advised】Let's go to the haunted mansion!", will be broadcast on TV Tokyo on March 2nd.
Wataru and Kakeru meet again after a long time. Wataru has obtained one Seven Block so far, while Kakeru has three, so Kakeru is slightly ahead. The two are excited for the next match, but an old lady in the Ayakashi Village, their destination, asks for help. It seems that a long-haired woman named Urabe Reiko has turned her house into a haunted property. When they arrive at the Ayakashi Village, it is enveloped in an eerie atmosphere.
"Mashin Genesis Wataru" is said to be a "Wataru" series aimed at the "new generation," and the protagonist, Hoshibe Wataru, a fourth-grade elementary school student, will appear as a YouTuber aiming to become a superstar. Together with his partner Ryujinmaru, Wataru will embark on a "buzzworthy" adventure battle in Chubukai, a different world where blocks float.
Mutsumi Tamura will play Wataru, Tomokazu Sugita will play Ryujinmaru, Atsumi Tanezaki Amabe, Katsuyuki Konishi, Megu Umezawa will play Maro, and Rie Kugimiya will play Ryuryun. The series is directed by Yumi Kamakura and produced by Bandai Namco Pictures. It airs every Sunday at 5:30pm on TV Tokyo.
