 The official website of Sae Okamoto's Mecha-ude (Mechanical Arms) project announced a full-fledged anime series on Thursday, revealing the main staff and a key visual (pictured).Sae Okamoto will be directing the anime at TriF Studio. Shuuichi Asou is serving as the animation producer, while Tetsuya Kinoshita (Pony Canyon) (Shingeki no Kyojin) is credited as the producer. The anime project began as a short promotional video through a crowdfunding in October 2016. The campaign ended successfully, greenlighting an original net anime in September 2018. A manga adaptation by Yoshino Koyoka (Hidan no Aria) began serialization on the LINE Manga and eBookJapan platforms on Thursday. Synopsis Long ago, alien lifeforms came to Earth, fusing with people on the planet. Due to their appearance, they were dubbed "Mecha-ude," as when fused, they bore a striking resemblance to mechanized limbs. Through an involuntary partnership, average middle schooler Hikaru Amatsuga works alongside the Mecha-ude Arma, who is an extremely rare and special existence. To protect Arma, the resistance group ARMS assigns the dual Mecha-ude user Aki Murasame to follow him wherever he goes. However, she is also looking for a mysterious Snake-Type Mecha-ude wielder, who has put many of her comrades in a critical state. Behind the scenes, an organization known as the Kagami Group is searching for the mythical "Trigger Arm," a Mecha-ude said to grant unlimited power. When Aki's life is threatened by this group, Hikaru must team up with Arma to find the coursage to fight back and, along the way, learn that his life will never be ordinary again.

| im gonna wait for pv first |
| She is a professional animator who is already in the industry, but it still took her years and crowdfunding to get an original anime? |
 |
| after so many years, that's impressive, the pilot was super fun |
    |
| I've heard of the name before, but I always assumed that it was a mobile game lol....Synopsis sounds decent, so I'll check it out when it drops |
| Found out about this anime through E ve's song, "Ambivalent". Excited for this one ngl |
 |
| I actually planned to watch it back when but forgot about it. The OVA was pretty fun so it may be a decent series. |

IT's not about how long you work but who you know. Also on the surface it seems like just another Shonen which probably made it a hard sell when there are so many other shonen with established manga and fan bases to draw from. |

Shunichi Watanabe told how he went around a lot of producers with his ideas and many said "man, forget it! Let's shoot something with attractive waifu!". |

| it took me quite a while to get to the ONA and try it out. i just had other shows that interested me more back then. but frankly, that ONA was interesting, entertaining, and had alot of original ideas and executions of animation and cinematography. i'm glad another all-anime-original project is 'getting the green-light' and i hope it brings more attention to the Japanese anime industries' ... 'forward thinkers'... those folks who want to make their own show. not just adapt somebody else's published work(s). FRANXX was great, Gurren Lagann was great, Tenchi Muyo was great... i hope 'Mecha-ude' will be great as well! :D |
| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| I actually wished this was a thing when I watched the ONA two years ago, so this is a nice surprise. |
