Disc Wars: Avengers Anime Announced


An anime inspired by Marvel's The Avengers called "Disc Wars: Avengers" is set to premiere in Japan next spring. This title is produced by Marvel with Bandai producing the toys.

In the anime, portable capturing devices known as "Discs" were developed to capture evil villains. However, thanks to Loki's machinations, both villains and heroes are sealed up in these Discs and scattered around the world.

Amid the chaos, five youths obtained the power to restore these Disc-sealed heroes through a program called "Biocode". These youths received five discs that Spider-Man, who narrowly escaped being sealed himself, retrieved. Thus, these five can restore Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Wasp — the Avengers!

This isn't the first time Toei collaborated with Marvel in a project. Back in the 70's, Toei produced a live-action Spider-Man TV series.
