Now Viewing: koutetsushin_jeegTag type: Copyright 鋼鉄神ジーグ Steel God Jeeg A super robot action anime TV series that ran from April 5, 2007 to July 12, 2007 and was animated by Actas. It is an alternate universe sequel to Koutetsu Jeeg and a revival of the Jeeg franchise. It was directed by Kawagoe Jun, a director known for directing revivals of mech anime franchises, and written by Hayakawa Tadashi. The soundtrack was composed by Hirano Yoshihisa. The opening and insert songs were performed by the anisong band JAM Project, who specialize in performing hot-blooded rock themes for anime. It has been fifty years since the end of the war between humanity and the Great Jama Kingdom. It ended over the province of Kyushu, which was engulfed by dark stormy clouds that cut off all communication between the province and the rest of Japan. Original series hero Shiba Hiroshi and Queen Himika and her forces disappeared, never to be heard from again. The Japanese government commissioned the construction of another Build Base to monitor the region in case something happens. New protagonist Kusanagi Kenji is a hot-blooded motorcycle enthusiast who spends his school days messing around with his childhood friend Tamashiro Tsubaki and competing against his fellow motor club member Misumi Kyou. However, his idyllic life comes to an end when a Haniwa Genjin, a clay monster mech that was part of Himika's forces, comes to life and attacks Kenji's hometown. In the ensuing carnage, Kenji discovers that his friends have been living a double life. By day, they go to school like other teenagers, but they are members of Build Base who have been preparing for a crisis like this one. They get Kenji to pilot the Koutetsu Jeeg mech to battle against the Haniwa Genjin, a job that Kenji readily accepts. Soon after the Genjin's revival, Himika and her forces reawaken and set out to get their hands on powerful artifacts known as the Bronze Bells and get revenge for their past defeat. With original hero Hiroshi nowhere to be found, Kenji must step up to become humanity's new protector with his Jeeg. Although the series presents itself as a sequel, it has some significant differences from its predecessor and the original manga. It ignores the latter portions of the manga and some characters who were killed off in the original are alive in this incarnation, which places it in a different continuity from them. Nevertheless, the show otherwise aims to be faithful to its predecessor in tone and style. This incarnation of the Jeeg franchise was represented in Super Robot Wars K and Super Robot Wars L.
