MIPJunior Spotlight: BLAST Inc.

Leading BLAST Inc.’s kids’ content slate is BLADER, a live-action show aimed at the 3- to 16-year-old set that features a robot hero and a new enemy character for every episode.

“Japan’s top creative minds assembled for the show,” says Junya Okabe, BLAST Inc.’s CEO, who adds that the show easily transitions into toy merchandising and that there are pre-developed products ready to be delivered to the company’s partners. The series can also be localized for various markets with subtitles and dubbing.

Additional titles on the company’s slate include the comedy Jumbo Monster GOMERA, which centers on the titular character’s trip to the human world as he tries to train to become a full-fledged monster, and Maison de Castle, a series centering on the lives of five girls sharing the same apartment.

Okabe says, “Reaching new heights in the live-action hero genre, our goal is to go beyond Power Rangers.”
