Yatate Bunko, a publishing imprint created by Sunrise, has announced the serialization of a new novel for Matchless Raijin-Oh (known as Zettai Muteki Raijin-Oh in Japanese) which will begin publication on April 18, 2017.
The new novel is written by Hideki Sonoda and features character illustrations by Akira Takeuchi and mecha illustrations by Takahiro Yamada. The novels celebrates 26 years since the publication of the original Matchless Raijin-Oh TV anime.
The Matchless Raijin-Oh TV anime is directed by Toshifumi Kawase and features animation by Sunrise. It originally ran for 51 episodes on TV Tokyo in 1991 - 1992. Matchless Raijin-Oh is released on DVD in North America by Anime Midstream, who describe the series as follows:
"When the legendary Guardian Eldoran is badly wounded by the fifth-dimensional invaders of the Jaku Empire, he has no choice but to leave the Earth's only salvation - the mighty robot Raijin-Oh - in the hands of the first people he can find ... which happens to be a classroom of 5th Graders.
The children reluctantly take up the responsibility, only to find that the Jaku monsters invading their planet have become the living incarnations of the things they dislike the most! Can the Earth Defense Class successfully learn to work as a team, overcome their stigmas and defeat the forces of evil while (futilely) attempting to teach Jin how to perform decimal division?"
