Pony Canyon announced that a full-scale TV anime series of the mechanical arms project Mecha-Ude, will be produced, directed, and drafted by Sae Okamoto, an animation artist belonging to TriF Studio. Serialization of the manga has begun today via LINE Comics, and no release window for the anime was announced yet.
Mecha-Ude was funded through crowdfunding back in 2018, with a 25-minute pilot episode released for supporters only. The story of the anime revolves around two youths. Hikaru has been enjoying his normal school days in middle school and Alma is a Mecha-Ude Wielder who can be activated when he is attached to human beings. There are exciting adventures and battles following the two of them in the story.
