no3Ljm Posted September 18 Posted September 18 (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 September 18 by no3Ljm Quote
Chronocidal Posted September 18 Posted September 18 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

Still, could be entertaining, I'll be curious to see how the style turns out. I haven't seen any and of the recent Tokusatsu series since 2000. 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! Quote
