EAT-MAN Gets Third Anime, The Over Order, With Creator On Script
Hakuhodo DY Music & Pictures announced on September 10 that Akihito Yoshitomi's sci-fi manga EAT-MAN will receive a completely new anime titled EAT-MAN The Over Order. Yoshitomi, the original creator, handles the script and design concepts, his first credited involvement at the script production stage. Shunji Oga, whose credits include Golgo 13 and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, directs at Studio Cab, the studio he leads. Satoshi Hirayama, known for work on the Lupin III series, is the character designer. Masashi Ebara returns as protagonist Bolt Crank, the role he voiced in the two earlier anime adaptations, roughly 30 years on. A super teaser video and a teaser visual drawn by Yoshitomi were released with the announcement. The teaser video opens on Bolt picking up a screw in a wasteland, then eating metal before a giant weapon appears. Earlier, on September 4, a teaser video showing falling screws had been released without details.
