New 'Notari Matsutaro' TV Adaptation to Replace 'Saint Seiya Omega' in Spring 2014
Saint Seiya Omega will be completing its 2-year broadcasting run this Spring, when it will be replaced by the TV adaptation of manga Notari Matsutaro.
Saint Seiya Omega will complete with the Omega Awakening arc at 97 episodes. Although a number of movies and OVAs were released between, this series broadcast in 2012 as the first Saint Seiya TV anime since the original anime which aired 23 years prior.
Notari Matsutaro began serialization in Big Comic magazine 41 years ago in August 1973 and completed in March 1998. The sumo manga was created by mangaka Testuya Chiba, who is most known for his series Ashita no Joe. The manga previously received a 10-episode OVA series adaptation with the same title in November 1990.
The new TV adaptation will be titled Abarenbou Kishi!! Matsutarou (Roughneck Sumo Wrestler!! Matsutarou) and will premiere on April 5th.
Synopsis
The story follows Matsutarou Sakaguchi, a giant roughneck man with strength far beyond ordinary people. He never uttered words like "work hard," "strive," and "dream" like the typical shounen manga protagonist. However, he is stronger than anyone and peerless in sumo wrestling. His greatest weakness is his own carefree personality. He grows into a full-fledged sumo wrestler. (Source: ANN)
