Level-5 announced their fifth cross-media project after Yo-kai Watch and Snack World with Megaton Musashi, a new sci-fi series in a world where 90% of mankind was destroyed by aliens. Yes, there are giant mechas.

The above is a look at the pilot episode that was showcased during the event. Megaton Musashi takes place on the year 2118 where alien invaders called the “Dorakuta” took out 90% of mankind and made Earth into a giant next by creating a giant donut-like hole through its middle. While the rest of the surviving mankind lives in a secure area called “Shelter” and have had their minds erased to forget everything about what happened with the Dorakuta invasion, the main characters were chosen to fight back and still have their memories intact.
