There’s a new trailer for MF Ghost, the anime of Shuuichi Shigeno’s manga. The series is due out in October.
It’s an alternative reality setting, a lot like ours but one in which self-driving cars are ordinary. Our hero, Kanata Livington, is a Japanese driver trained in England before returning to Tokyo.
This promo video features Jungle Fire, the opening theme by Yu Serizawa and featuring MOTSU.
Initial D Legend 2: Racer director Tomohito Naka is at the helm for Felix Film, and Akihiko Inari is writing the script. Chief animation directors include Naoyuki Onda of Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway and Psycho-Pass 3, both good shows.
Kodansha publishes the manga in English, and their synopsis says;
The author of Initial D has roared back onto the track with another hit! In a near future where cars have mostly switched over to sustainable power, combustion engine racing is a rarity. The MFG is the last major race for this dying breed, and half-Japanese Kanata Rivington has come back to try his luck. But that’s not all he’s come to Japan to do… he’s searching for his father, too. Can even the ambitious Kanata accomplish all he’s set out to do?”
Shuuichi Shigeno might be better known for Initial D which is also about speeding cars, free for Prime members on Kindle and a strong seller.
