no3Ljm Posted Wednesday at 04:54 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:54 AM (edited) "A Tokusatsu Hero Otaku Saves The World!?" The live-action TV drama series Wingman is set to premiere on TV Tokyo's "DramaTues!" midnight programming block on October 22, 2024. Renowned tokusatsu director Koichi Sakamoto serves as the director and action director of the series. As Katsura's first serialized work, Wingman ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1983 to 1985. The manga's style, heavily influenced by the tokusatsu heroes of the 1980s, was adapted into TV anime and video games. The new live-action drama is made in commemoration of the manga's 40th anniversary. The TV anime adaptation was produced by Toei Animation under the title Yume Senshi Wingman ("Dream Warrior Wingman"), which aired for 47 episodes from 1984 to 1985. Cast: Kenta Hirono played by Maito Fujioka Aoi Yume played by Konatsu Kato Miku Ogawa played by Himena Kikuchi Kumiko Fuzawa played by Hiyori Katada Momoko Morimoto played by Amane Uehara Tomoo Fukumoto played by Jotaro Sakagami played by Yuno Ohara Kurotsu played by Ui Mihara Tatsuo Saito played by Haruki Tachibana https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/wingman/ https://x.com/tx_wingman Edited Wednesday at 04:04 PM by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted Wednesday at 04:59 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:59 AM Darn, I was hoping for a Project Wingman miniseries. Still, could be entertaining, I'll be curious to see how the style turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope it will not turn into some kind of cheesy shows. But then Wingman is also one of those animes I've followed when we live in Japan back in the 80's so I'm curious too. Looking forward to see his 'change' sequence, his Winner (and Winner II) bikes, the Delta End finisher, and the Wing Girls. Everything!

Sorry if it caused confusion. I changed the thread title to reflect the original series title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
