Japan likes trains, and Japan also likes giant robots. So really it comes as no surprise that they
certainly liked
Shinkansen Robo Henkei Shinkalion - the 2018-2019 series that brought the two together in an explosion of train facts, wonderfully gimmicky toys and fond memories of the
Brave Series. So much so that
TakaraTomy, the
Japan Railways Group and
OLM, Inc. have teamed up
once again to produce a sequel series, this time going by the name of
Shinkansen Robo Henkei Shinkalion Z. Taking place after the original series with an all-new cast and story, this 2021-2022 sequel ran for a total of 41 episodes.
