Park's Vision Reaches Fruition

Park, who authored the original story for Bullet/Bullet, expressed his excitement about the project reaching fruition, explaining, “I want everyone to watch the growth story of the main character Gear and enjoy the music, voice acting, and especially the car action.” Park's animation studio, E&H Production, will be the force behind bringing this animated vision to life.

Following the Success of Ninja Kamui

This project follows Park's recent success with the series Ninja Kamui. According to Adult Swim VP Jason DeMarco, the series has been well-received, with exceptional ratings and positive feedback from networks like Cartoon Network and Toonami.
