Naoki Urasawa, known for the seminal works "20th Century Boys," "Monster" and "Pluto," has now made history as the first Japanese manga artist ever to have his work adapted into a feature length motion picture in Spain, according to Comics Alliance. Privately financed via crowd-funding platform IndieGogo, Spanish director Javier Yañez raised the $10,000 required to finalize the film.

Yañez obtained the rights to "Mighty Boy," one of Urasawa's early short stories, from publishers Shogakukan, while acquiring support from the celebrated Eisner Award winning animator himself in the process. Subtitled in both English and Japanese, the film is now available to watch in full, for free online

Currently presented as a selection of the fifth Festival Iberoamericano de Cortometrajes ABC-a film festival showcasing short films in Spanish and Portuguese, the short follows Jamie, disillusioned university student and nostalgia addict who lands a spot as a stuntman for "Mighty Boy," the Spanish version of his favorite childhood superhero-themed show.

The short film, which features sendups of the cult live action children's TV series "Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers," a 90s phenomena that swept the U.S. based on the Japanese Super Sentai franchise "Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger", pays homage to various characters of the hit show and delivers. Evil-doer Rita Repulsa shows up and delivers on kitsch, there are epic battles with outrageous alien characters and Jamie mows them all down in Red Ranger regalia.

Available for streaming until Nov. 4th, the 15 minute short explores the superhero mythos where the good guys fight the bad guys and the good guys win, and conveys a universal message: courage to believe in yourself and to follow your dreams, no matter how ridiculous or unrealistic people think they are.
