Studio DEEN, Japanese animators behind such hits as
Log Horizon season 2 and
Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto, have teamed with Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment for an intriguing new anime project. While
The Reflection features a tried-and-true premise (random folks around the world suddenly develop super powers), during the projects panel this past weekend at the Stan Lee Los Angeles Comic Con, Lee himself promised a twist that no one will see coming.
Japanese anime currently appears to be going through a period of fascination with superheroes as evidenced by the recent success of
My Hero Academia and
One-Punch Man.
The series is currently slated for a 2017 debut.
After THE REFLECTION, some of the people in all parts of the world are discovered with super powers. Some become heroes, and others villains. How did the Reflection happen? What was the cause of it? With many unsolved mysteries, the world is lead into turmoil.
