October 21, 2021

Anime studio Tatsunoko Productions (Speed Racer, Gatchaman, Time Bokan, Infini-T Force) released a visual on Tuesday in anticipation of its 60th anniversary on October 19, 2022. The visual features 60 characters across various Tatsunoko properties. The company's online store plans to sell 60 different types of products based on that visual.

Additionally, Yatterman mechanical designer Kunio Okawara redesigned the eponymous Yatterman; Kotobuki will release a plastic model based on this redesign in 2022.

During the year leading up to the anniversary, Tatsunoko will hold various events and projects. A Tatsunoko themed store will open in Tokyo's Seibu Shibuya store from November 2nd to 8th. Starting November 26, the Comiplex manga website will publish a manga “Tatsunoko 60th Anthology” featuring the unique interpretations of various manga creators of Tatsunoko's anime works. Collaborating artists include Tatsuma Ejiri (P2! - Let's Play Pingpong !, Infini-T Force: Arc to the Future) and Takashi Kurihara (Tsunobyō).

Tatsunoko is also organizing a joint campaign with TV Kanagawa, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, to conduct a viewer poll. The top-rated series will be featured in the station's Sunday anime timeslot from April 2022, while the rest of the top 5 will air in the nostalgic anime selection from December 2021 to March 2022.

Tatsunoko Productions produced the Infini-T Force anime and The Price of Smiles to celebrate the company's 55th anniversary.
