Toei Animation Produces New 'Tiger Mask' TV Anime
Toei Animation has announced at AnimeJapan 2016 that it will produce the previously announced new anime adaptation of the Tiger Mask wrestling manga.
The new adaptation is a television series, tentatively titled Tiger Mask W, that will continue the story of the original work. Its production commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Toei Animation's formation and will utilize both 2D and 3D animation. The studio previously produced the 1969 anime adaptation and its 1981 sequel.
Synopsis
Two young wrestlers face each other in a recently revived underground wrestling organization, the Tiger's Lair, which destroyed the wrestling dojo they grew up in. One took over the training facilities of Naoto Date at the foot of Mount Fuji, as well as the mask he left behind. The other dared to enter the Tiger's Lair and won a fierce competition, receiving a jet-black tiger mask. One tiger walks the path of light, while the other walks the path of shadows. Neither one knows the other's face. On the ring, they are natural enemies, but they have the same purpose—destroy the Tiger's Lair!
