No footage has been released, but a teaser visual drawn by character designer Kei Mochizuki has been published. The story details remain under wraps, including what the protagonist faces in the visual.
The announcement continues a pattern of Tezuka's works being adapted long after his death in 1989. Recent examples include 'PLUTO', 'Dororo', 'Atom: The Beginning', and 'Young Black Jack'.
