Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara TV Anime Coming in 2027: A Gourmet Adventure in Dangerous Zones!
We have exciting news for gourmet and adventure enthusiasts! The popular manga series Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara (Getting Shots on a Frying Pan), written by Juntarō Aoki and illustrated by Shin Moriyama, is officially being adapted into a television anime. According to the announcement, this extraordinary story will hit screens in 2027. The animation production for the series will be handled by the famous studio J.C. Staff, known for successful works such as Food Wars! and DanMachi.
The series follows a path quite different from conventional cooking anime. The story focuses on the adventures of a character named Juntarō, who travels to the world's most dangerous regions in search of local delicacies. In this journey, which extends from cartel territories in Mexico to slums where conflicts are constant, our hero not only satisfies his hunger but also strives to reach his goal of collecting "50,000 flavor points." Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara promises to offer the audience a suspenseful atmosphere by blending the action and gourmet genres.
One of the most interesting aspects of the series is the protagonist's perspective. In the story, Juntarō sees the world through a filter due to consuming an overdose of "2D content" (anime and manga); therefore, he perceives everyone he meets, and even himself, as a "cute young girl." This creates an absurd contrast with the dangerous and harsh environments where the series takes place, adding a unique humor to the production. Based on the actual travel experiences of author Juntarō Aoki, this "non-fiction" based story has attracted great attention since it began in Comic Newtype magazine in 2021.
The manga proved its success by entering the top 20 in the male readers category in the 2023 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guide. Details such as the voice cast and the first trailer are expected to be clarified in the period leading up to 2027. Especially in this era where productions that combine the gourmet theme with different genres, such as Dungeon Meshi, are becoming popular, it is certain that this new adaptation by J.C. Staff will bring a fresh breath to the anime world. If you are looking for both adrenaline and a good food story, you should definitely add this production to your list!
