The series will premiere on February 9 with the first six episodes. Episodes seven and eight will be released on February 16. Amazon’s announcement said the work will be streamed worldwide. The first four episodes will cover the film’s story but will also include unaired scenes not depicted in the film. Episodes 5-8 will tell a follow-up story.
The promotional image stars Takao Osawa (live-action Sky High, Tsukiji Uogashi Sandaime), who plays main character Hiro Kaieda. Osawa also serves as a producer for the film.
The film opened in Japan on September 29 and sold 274,000 tickets for 370,136,800 yen (about US$2.46 million) in its first three days of release. Takao Osawa and Shinzō Matsuhashi produced the live-action film, Kōhei Yoshino directed the film and Hikaru Takai wrote the script. B’z, with singer Ado as the lead singer, contributed to the film’s theme song “Dignity”. The song will also be the theme of the new series.
In the story, Hiro Kaieda is appointed captain of Japan’s first nuclear submarine, built jointly by Japan and the United States in top secret. However, he and his 76 crew members go rogue in a story that delves into themes of nuclear war, international politics, and world peace.
Kawaguchi (Eagle, Kūbo Ibuki) serialized the manga in Kodansha’s Morning magazine from 1988 to 1996. The manga inspired an anime television special from Sunrise in 1996, followed by an original two-part anime video season of Sunrise from 1997 to 1998. Central Park Media made the anime available on video and DVD later.
