On April 7, "Steel God Jeeg," an anime based on the works of Go Nagai, will make its debut on terrestrial television on TV Tokyo. The series is a continuation of the 1975 anime "Steel Jeeg," which originally aired on WOWOW in 2007, and showcases the talent of director Jun Kawagoe and series planner Masashi Hayakawa, both known for their extensive work on Go Nagai projects. The animation production was handled by Actas, with Daisuke Ono as the protagonist Kenji Kusanagi and Kana Ueda as the heroine Tsubaki Tamashiro.
"Steel God Jeeg" is set in Kyushu, the site of the final battle between Steel Jeeg and the Kingdom of Jamatai 50 years ago, which has since been surrounded by a mysterious barrier called "The Zone" and cut off from communication. The story begins in the southernmost city of Honshu, where high school student Kenji Kusanagi encounters a phantom clay god, Magura, emerging from the ground.
