I'm not sure if you've heard or not, but Stan Lee has a new anime series coming out soon called The Reflection. The series "follows the fight between superhero Xon and villain I-Guy, who are among those found to have gained special powers following a global disaster called the Reflection."
A promo teaser has been released for the anime series narrated by Lee that provides some additional insight on the story and introduces us to some of the characters. It was also revealed that the 12-episode series would premiere on July 22nd on Japanese public broadcaster Nhk.
The series was directed by Hiroshi Nagahama (Mushishi, The Flowers of Evil, Detroit Metal City) and Yoshihiko Umakoshi of the animated TV series Heartcatch Precure! is the character designer on the show. Studio Deen is taking on the animation production.
It looks like an interesting series that could be fun. We'll just have to wait and see.

Studio Deen, Japanese animators behind such hits as Log Horizon season 2 and Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto, have teamed with Stan Lee's Pow! Entertainment for an intriguing new anime project. While The Reflection features a tried-and-true premise (random folks around the world suddenly develop super powers), during the projects panel this past weekend at the Stan Lee Los Angeles Comic Con, Lee himself promised a twist that no one will see coming. Japanese anime currently appears to be going through a period of fascination with superheroes as evidenced by the recent success of My Hero Academia and One-Punch Man. The series is currently slated for a 2017 debut. After The Reflection, some of the people in all parts of the world are discovered with super powers. Some become heroes, and others villains. How did the Reflection happen? What was the cause of it? With many unsolved mysteries, the world is lead into turmoil.
