Sunrise's iconic robot anime, GEAR Fighter Dendoh, hit its 25th anniversary milestone last year, celebrating with the announcement of a sequel novel project set three years after the anime's conclusion.
And the wait is over! The official serialization of the original novel, GEAR Fighter Dendoh METEOR, officially launched today (April 24), with the first part of Chapter 1 already available. Fans can also feast their eyes on brand-new character and mecha designs, offering a fresh look at the continuation of this beloved classic.
Originally produced by Sunrise in 2000, GEAR Fighter Dendoh captured the hearts of many. Now, this new novel, GEAR Fighter Dendoh METEOR, picks up the story three years after the anime's finale. The novel is penned by Ukyō Kodachi, with Mitsuo Fukuda and Naotake Furuya serving as supervisors.
