"Shinkalion Change the World" is set to air in April on TV Tokyo. The announcement was made with great fanfare, revealing the cast, staff, key visual, and promotional video.
The story introduces new pilots who operate advanced Shinkalions. Yousa Ishibashi voices the protagonist Taisei Daisuki, who pilots the "Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa Trailer Form." Kenji Ono voices Akane Folden, the driver of the "Shinkalion E6 Komachi Top Lifter Form," and Kamiya Tsuchiya voices Ryota, the driver of the "Shinkalion E7 Kagayaki Drill Form." Hanashi Kubo adds further depth to the narrative by voicing Veena, a uniquely expressive navigation AI developed by Taisei's sister Ina. Unlike conventional AIs, she can spontaneously initiate conversations and support Taisei with advice and assistance.
Other characters in the series include My Ume, Taisei's childhood friend, voiced by Kaede Hondo; Kadomichi Takanawa, a Japanese teacher and advisor to the railway club at Shinkai Academy, voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi; and Ina Daisuki, Taisei's older sister, who mysteriously disappeared two years ago, voiced by Eri Kitamura.
Directed by Kenichiro Komaya, known for "The Bonds of Alir," and featuring a creative team that includes series composer Eiji Umehara, character designs by Shiori Asaka and Niina Morita, and music by Yugo Kanno, the project promises to be an exciting addition to the Shinkalion saga. The key visual depicts the young pilots gathered in front of the Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa Trailer Form, hinting at the adventures and challenges they will face.
The "Shinkalion" project is a collaborative effort by JR East Japan Planning, Shogakukan Shueisha Production, and Takara Tomy.
