Kinnikuman returns with a new anime series to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its debut with Shueisha Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Now, fans have seen what to expect from the new project thanks to the first trailer! The Yudetamago creative duo behind Kinnikuman first debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1979, and since then it has been one of the magazine’s milestones. It has had several anime releases (one of which hit the US as The Cult Series Returns! The Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc anime just received its first trailer. It’s scheduled to premiere in 2024. Check it out!), and now it’s back!
Kinnikuman is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a new anime series following the events of the Perfect Origin Arc , which was previously seen as a revival of the series released in 2011. It is the longest part of the manga with over 200 chapters behind the story. The anime has shared what to expect from the first trailer for the Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc , as it prepares for a 2024 release. Check it out below!
What is worth knowing about the new anime?
Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc is scheduled for release in 2024. Akira Sato will direct the new anime for Production IG, Makoto Fukami will handle the series scripts, Hirotaka Marufuji will design the characters, and Yasuharu Takanashi will compose the music. Information such as the voice cast or potential international release dates for the new Kinnikuman anime have not been revealed yet, but we will keep you updated.
Kinnikuman is unfortunately not readily available to legally stream the anime or read its manga release online. The Shonen Jump series follows a young prince who battles increasingly powerful enemies throughout the series, all in the form of professional wrestling. It has wild characters (that have been licensed in many ways over the decades) that fans have fallen in love with, so this new anime will likely bring it all back in a big way!
What is the series about?
Kinnikuman (actually Kinniku Suguru) is a wimpy hero who is also the prince of an alien planet. His goal is to become a great hero. Despite his clumsy attitude, he can defend others when necessary. He is accompanied on his adventures by his sidekick, Meat-kun.
