Tesla Note Releases In October 2021, Trailer, Visuals And Latest Updates

Tesla Note is an upcoming spy action anime series adapted from a manga with the same name written by Masafumi Nishida, the creator of the popular “Tiger and Bunny” anime. Tadayoshi Kubo and Kouta Sannomiya are helping him.

The manga is fairly new, beginning only in early 2021. The anime coming out so soon can only mean one thing, that the series is so good that it needs to be adapted straight away.

The upcoming anime is a thrill and action-packed series where the main protagonist, Botan, is a high schooler but trained as a ninja since childhood. She looks deceptively simple leading a double life, reminding me of anime like Death Note.

Though the MC has a double life, the upcoming series is unique with the blend of CGI for a spy action anime. So when is Tesla Note coming?

The trailer displays an exciting 3DCG anime with intense background music. The trailer starts with a train suddenly jumping out of the blue sky.

It then introduces some of the characters namely Botan Negoro, the protagonist, followed by Kuruma, Takamatsu Ryuunosuke, Mickey Miller, and Oliver Thornton. The trailer ends with Botan shouting let’s do our best.

The trailer has been lambasted for its heavy use of CGI techniques, with many comparing Tesla Note to the more infamous anime in recent years, “Ex-Arm“.

4. Plot/Storyline

Tesla Note follows the story of Mission T, which is a secret operation to save the world from destruction. Tesla Note focuses on Botan Negoro, a young 17-year-old girl who is trained as a ninja from a young age. She is raised to become the ultimate spy who teams up with another excellent spy, Kuruma. 

They aim to recover the legacy of the Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla, the “Shards of Tesla.” But other countries and their agents are already moving to secure the Tesla Crystal, and Botan and Kuruma will have to use all their wit to outsmart them.

10. Conclusion

The Tesla shards’ powers are causing time and space to become unstable. We can see from the trailer the train being transported from its tracks to the middle of the sky due to the distortion caused by the shards.

Apart from the intense sci-fi plot, I’m also looking forward to seeing how Botan and her partner fare in their secret mission with their daily squabble. Can they outwit the agents of other countries who are also pursuing the crystal fragments? 

11. About Tesla Note
