The Shinkalion robots are various models of real-life Japanese bullet trains (shinkansen) that transform into robots to fight an unknown evil to protect the safety and peace of Japan.
The anime premiered on January 6, and airs on Saturdays at 7:00 a.m. on TBS and its affiliates.
Luckily, with the touch of his father’s Shinca (“evolve”) card, the bullet train he’s in transforms into a mighty robot — the Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa.
In the anime’s story, Hayato and other children serve as conductors to pilot the Shinkalion.
