With Netflix opting to not continue with Jupiter’s Legacy and instead focus on the Super Crooks property that had an anime adaptation announced previously and a live-action version that will come afterward, we learned back in June 2021 that Motonobu Hori is on board to direct it based on the scripts by Dai Sato. Takafumi Mitani is handling the character designs for it with BONES handling the animation production.
The thirteen-episode series is listing 30-minute(ish) episodes and saw a confirmed November 25th, 2021 debut for the series. The latest update is a fun three-minute clip where Johnny shows off his super powers to get away from the cops! Check it out below along with past promos and the like.
The Japanese cast previously only had the first two listed here but now the full slate is out with:
- Kenjiro Tsuda as Johnny Bolt
- Maaya Sakamoto as Kasey
- Hiroshi Yanaka as Christopher Matts
- Yasuji Kimura as Carmine (The Heat)
- Pierre Taki as The Gladiator
- Junichi Suwabe as Josh (The Ghost)
- Hisao Egawa as The Salamander
- Eiji Takemoto as TK McCabe
- Subaru Kimura as Sammy Diesel
- Tetsu Inada as Roddy Diesel
- Wataru Hatano as the Praetorian
- KENN as Forecast
The opening sequence for it features “Alpha” by TOWA TEI with Taprikk Sweezee and now they have the ending theme song with “Sugar” by TOWA TEI with UA.
Plot Concept: One last heist. That’s what they all say, right? Just one final score, and everyone can retire and take up fishing. Thing is, the jails are filled with super villains who thought the same thing, and got busted. But the Heat’s in a jam. He’s run up the kind of gambling debt that – if he can’t pay it back in cash – will be paid in blood. Nobody wants to see the most beloved supercrook of all time rubbed out by the mob – especially his biggest fan, Johnny Bolt. And Johnny’s got a plan to help the Heat and make all his buddies disgustingly rich at the same time. Unfortunately for Johnny’s recruits, they have to head to Spain and rob the world’s most notorious super villain blind. And that’s where things get tricky.
