The highly anticipated Mecha-Ude manga is finally coming to screens around the world on Oct. 3, 2024. Right now it isnā€™t clear exactly what time the show will premiere, but it will be sometime on that day so you can relax knowing it won’t be a long wait.

Mecha-Ude is an anime original series that stemmed from a Kickstarter campaign all the way back in 2016. The series was created by Sae Okamoto alongside TriF Studio who have completed the full season set to air later this year.

The anime will star Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Hikaru, Tomokazu Sugita as Alma, Yu Shimamura as Aki, and Sinis & Dex voiced by Kaito Ishikawa, alongside many more voiceover talents. A cast list and fresh visuals were officially revealed on June 10, 2024, ahead of the release.

The story is centered around Hiakru, a school boy who meets Alma, a Mecha-Ude which is the term used for a mechanical race that combines with humans for battle and adventuring purposes. You can see how this premise plays out in the brand-new full-length trailer shared on YouTube.

If you want to get a grasp on the story before Mecha-Ude arrives there are multiple manga chapters that have been created that will introduce you to the characters, plot, and this incredible world. These are available to read via Azuki right now.

Expect more information regarding the exact release time for Mecha-Ude to be shared in the weeks leading up to its arrival.
