Sonny Boy, the upcoming survival anime, is the brainchild of One-Punch Man’s director, Shingo Natsume.
Nagara and his classmates thought they would have a tranquil and fun summer vacation. Little did they know that they would be transported to the middle of nowhere!
All these students will have to survive on their own. For some, it is an escape; for others, it is a life or death situation. Is this unknown place a utopia or hell?
Shingo Natsume and Studio Madhouse have joined forces once again to produce the original anime, Sonny Boy. The anime is set to premiere in 2021.
A new trailer has been revealed.
The trailer shows us glimpses of the school that these middle-schoolers have been transported to. Mysterious things are taking place, and the students need to figure out how to survive.
Nozomi, the odd transfer student from Nagara’s actual school, questions him whether this new place is a utopia or hell. Various overlapping voices can be heard, and it creates a foreboding atmosphere.
The trailer also previews the anime’s theme song, “Boys and Girls”. The track is written by Kazunobu Mineta of the Ging Nang BOYZ band.
A new visual by Hisashi Eguchi has also been revealed. The visual shows us the main characters of the upcoming anime.
Hisashi Eguchi, who fascinates people, has decided to participate in the TV anime “Sonny Boy” as a character draft for the first time in 18 years & the concept visual has arrived! ️
A youth sci-fi survival ensemble drama that delicately and vividly depicts the facial expressions of boys and girls who were suddenly thrown out of peaceful everyday life.
