New Short Anime Announced! "Future GPX Cyber Formula" 35th Anniversary Project Launches

To commemorate the announcement of this project, a comment has also arrived from Mitsuo Fukuda, the series' general director. Fukuda states that the new work "condenses a new year of Cyber Formula into 6 minutes."

Although it is a short animation that unfolds in a very short duration of approximately 6 minutes, it captures the present of this world with the density and speed that can only be depicted in limited time. As a story, it is a legitimate sequel to "SIN," depicting what lies beyond that battle and the new season that the characters will face. In addition, the production involves not only the staff who previously worked on this series, but also creators of a new generation. It has become a production site where the feelings that have been passed down through the ages and new sensibilities intersect.

In this work, various settings have been reviewed and race regulations and designs have been newly constructed. In terms of visuals, everything from characters to cyber machines is produced with full animation without using any CG. The production team wants viewers to feel the sense of speed and weight, and the response of the driving that is born only from hand-drawn animation. They call out, "Although it is a short work, the passion put into each and every moment is the same as before. We hope you will witness the opening of a new year."

The design of the completely new cyber machine "Zenith Asurada AKF-S0/G" by Shoji Kawamori, who is in charge of machine design for this series, has also been revealed for the first time. This machine is scheduled to appear in the new short anime.

In addition, following the memorial promotion video of the TV series released in 2021, which marked the series' 30th anniversary, a memorial promotion video focusing on the four OVA series ("11," "ZERO," "SAGA," "SIN") has also been released. Viewers can review the famous scenes of the series along with the song "UNLIMITED FIRE" by Aki Misato. At the end of the video, a teaser cut of the new short anime also appears.
