The first information to be released is a teaser PV and the official website for the “Chicken Fighter” anime.
Comments from the original author and anime staff have also arrived.
“Chicken Fighter” is finally being made into an anime!
I couldn’t be happier!
Having it made into an anime has been my dream and a big goal since I became a manga artist. I owe it all
to the readers who have supported me so far, and
to everyone at HERO’S & VIZ Media who has been involved in this work.
I’m truly grateful.
I think “Chicken Fighter” is a very lucky production.
The best director,
the best scriptwriter,
the best production staff,
and the best voice actors
all came together to create the best work.
As the original author, I couldn’t be happier.
I can’t wait to see Keiji and the gang moving around on TV. I hope that as many people as possible will enjoy
this anime about chickens .
“I grew up watching Warner Bros. movies,” Professor Sakuratani said when we talked before. “Gremlins,” “The Goonies,” “Blade Runner,” “Mad Max,” “Lethal Weapon,” etc., etc. I feel like the souls of these good old movies are still alive in “Chicken Fighter.”
And the main character, Cage, who has a sense of justice, is stubborn but playful, and has a weak connection with the boss, but still follows the path he believes in. He is also very charming, just like the main characters of old movies. It may be considered outdated, but in this modern age where division is being called out and a gloomy sense of stagnation is hanging in the air, I feel hope that there is a guy like Cage who lives a straight life, even if he is clumsy.
“are you serious!?”
This was my honest reaction when I first heard about the idea of making an anime version of “Chicken Fighter.”
The main character, despite his tough-looking face, is in fact just a chicken.
But this chicken will fight monsters for the fate of the world.
“Is this interesting…?”
I wondered, having never had any interest in chickens other than to eat them.
“Am I really capable of directing this film?”
I picked up the original book with a hint of unease.
A few hours later, I couldn’t stop the tears from spilling.
“What a hot cock story…!!”
“I can do this, I can do this!!”
That’s how I ended up directing this film. My name is Suzuki Daisuke.
This work, “Chicken Fighter,” depicts an intense battle that is hard to imagine from the title.
The giant monsters that attack, the “Oni-ju,” and the powerful techniques of the birds that fight them off are all recreated in a gorgeous way that only anime can offer.
Another highlight is the drama woven by the passionate feelings of the characters, including the birds that appear in the story, and the many other living creatures.
One of the challenges for us as this is our first animal animation was how to portray emotions such as the hidden feelings of the main character Keiji, the changes in the heroine Elizabeth’s heart, and Piyoko’s love. However, the expressive skills that our staff have cultivated in previous human character animations are fully utilized, even for birds, resulting in an emotionally rich animation that will make you laugh at times and move you to tears at other times.
The cast members are all in high spirits, and the recording is progressing enthusiastically in a space filled with laughter and a flurry of human and chicken language.
It’s as if the best cast was decided on from the start.
“I really want you to see and hear the finished product!”
“I’m really glad I got to direct this film!”
“Chicken Fighter” is an unprecedented, first-of-its-kind (maybe even the first?) full-scale chicken battle anime in the history of anime.
It would be my hope that you’ll be on the edge of your seat as Cage and his friends fight, cry at the drama they weave, and laugh out loud at their silly jokes.
Be sure to pay close attention to this passionate drama about men and women who transcend the barriers of race!!
Suddenly, strange creatures known as “Demon Beasts” appeared and began attacking humanity with overwhelming power. The city was destroyed and the people were in despair. Just when everyone was about to give up, a shadow appeared, standing up to the demon beasts! “You guys, I’ve come to your comb!!” A small hope descended upon humanity. It was a chicken!!!
