Cyclone Robots (2023)

Cyclone Robots is a multinational computer generated action-adventure mecha animated series created and developed by NFStudios and AnimeCore Creative for AnimeCore. It is a reboot of the original series of the same name, with a more grounded story and a change of art direction to 3DCGI. Animation is provided by Studio Aura 3DCG, Studio Anima, One Animation, and Mofac.

Bandai Spirits co-produced the series, and Bandai will have merchandising rights of the show, developing gunpla of many of the robots featured, as well as a trading card game.

Plot
TBD

Development
Development of the show began where AnimeCore have been deciding to reboot, revive, or develop new seasons of past IPs. Narita Koshiro approached AnimeCore to possibly develop a cheaply-produced generic anime to sell toys, and AnimeCore president of programming, Sera Runa, decided that they should reboot Cyclone Robots as a toy anime. Runa would approach both the co-producer of the show, NFStudios, about developing a reboot of the series, as well as Bandai to co-produce the series and to have merchandising rights so they could develop a card game and a Gunpla series of mecha shown in the anime. Both approved and greenlit the project on both ends. AnimeCore's overseas manager Riley Abbott then appointed animation writer and series composition person Makayla Garza to help develop the show for television.

Animation
Animation is done by Studio Aura 3DCG, as well as three other animation vendors, Studio Anima, One Animation, and Mofac. All animators are given creative freedom to develop their own storylines and episodes that would be part of the initial 65 episode order.

Season One (2023)
The first season revolves around meeting the main characters, their backstories, their everyday life, their ups and downs, as well as some weekly ground level battles to set up the plot further.
