Commissioned by the tourism board of Onahama - a town in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan - Gainax Fukushima has created a 16.5 minute promotional web anime entitled Jinriki Senkan!? Shiokaze Sawakaze ("Human-powered Battleship!? Shiokaze Sawake") that re-imagines a pair of scuttled destroyer-class ships as superheroes defending the peaceful port of Okahama.
In Jinriki Senkan!? Shiokaze Sawakaze, the 2011 Great Tōhoku Earthquake has opened up an inter-dimensional rift through which monsters attack. It falls to Shiokaze and Sawakaze to defend Onahama, with a little help from some ordinary high school students.
Jinriki Senkan!? Shiokaze Sawakaze is directed by Yoshinori Asao and Toru Yoshida and features character designs by Haruka Hirosawa. It features the voice talent of Seiichirō Yamashita as Shinpei, Sumire Uesaka as Sawakaze, and Hiroyuki Endo as Shiokaze.
