About Locke the Superman/New World Command

Here is what Locke the Superman/New World Command (超人ロック／新世界戦隊) is about, retold in plain terms: an action and sci-fi anime by Nippon Animation (1991). What the story covers: Azalea has been residing on the Colony-Planet of Dinahl, and she can't recall anything about herself until she hears a voice calling her name. Then there is another voice summoning her to go to a park on top of a skyscraper.

Soon after, once she arrives there, she meets up with other people who also have no recollection of who they are or what they were doing before arriving at this destination as instructed by the voice. All the people assembled there possess superhuman gifts, such as Eno's psychic power, Umoth's x-ray vision, Neia's teleportation abilities, Azalea's telepathy, and Locke's electrical wizardry. Who has summoned them, and what will the five super-psychics confront?

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Locke, voiced by Nobuo Tobita, leads the cast you will follow most closely. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. The run is 2 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Nippon Animation, which means the visual identity of Locke the Superman/New World Command follows that studio's craft. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Nobuo Tobita as Locke, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1991, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
