The first promotional video for Ganglion has arrived, offering a look at the anime's unusual premise. Set in early 2000s Tokyo, the series focuses on Isobe, a low-level combatant for the villainous corporation Ganglion. His days are spent in a bodysuit fighting the hero Hopeman, only to be repeatedly defeated. The trailer hints at a story that blends high-octane superhero battles with the mundane struggles of corporate life, portraying Isobe as a salaryman soldier dealing with unreasonable bosses and compliance issues.
Produced by Studio MAF, known for their work on the short film "Chikashi," Ganglion adapts the manga of the same name. The trailer suggests a comedic and perhaps even poignant take on the superhero genre, centering on the everyday grind of a salaryman whose "job" happens to involve fighting villains. The series is slated for a Fall 2025 release.
