Google and Studio 4C's Olympics Game Is Kinda Amazing
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.3 года назад
Over the years, the Google homepage has gone from the occasional fun illustration for special events, to full-on animations and even games. But their latest entry celebrating the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is far more ambitious than ever before, and it featured both the animation talents and creative direction of one of Japan’s top anime studios. OTAQUEST is an initiative dedicated to introducing Japa...
The World Is Finally Ready For Metroid Dread
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.3 года назад
At E3 this year, there were several surprising announcements, but few more so than Metroid Dread, the first mainline 2D title in 19 years. Even after the 3D Metroid Prime series burst into popularity, series producer Yoshio Sakamoto always believed it had a future in 2D adventures. And so even while he worked on several other titles and series as a senior officer at Nintendo development, he’s a...
The Monster Hunter Netflix Original "Anime" is Bizarre
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 года назад
Ever since the release of Monster Hunter World, this franchise has ballooned in popularity, and the team at Capcom have been doing their best to expand it into all sorts of media. The turn-based RPG got a sequel, they greenlit a live-action film, produced a mobile gacha game, and announced a 3D animated film titled Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild set to release in 2019. Cue three years of ...
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Had A Hard Time With Motion Controls
Просмотров 5083 года назад
Today, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword returns into the limelight after 10 years. The game initially launched back in 2011 as a title that would be able to make full advantage of the Wii Motion Plus. Coming off the critical success of Twilight Princess, it struggled to capture people’s hearts in the same way as many previous games in the series, but this is its second chance with updated gra...

Square Enix producer Yoichi Wada said in 2009 that he hoped that Final Fantasy XIV could take World of Warcraft’s crown, and now, it seems closer than it ever has before.

Kyoto Animation Sets an Example for the Rest of the Anime Industry
Просмотров 8 тыс.3 года назад
It’s almost two years since the arson attack on Kyoto Animation, a tragic event that shook not just those within the anime industry, but people across the world. July marks the return of Miss Kobayashi’s Maid Dragon and also the studio’s return to TV animation. At the time of the attack, messages came from all over from those that appreciated the studio’s craftsmanship. KyoAni isn’t just a cont...
Star Wars Is Bringing Together Anime's Best Studios
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.3 года назад
If you’d said the words “Star Wars anime” to me a couple years back, I’d think you were either talking about DaiconIV or being really specific about the fact that Star Wars: The Clone Wars was animated by a team in Japan. But last week was the first trailer for Star Wars: Visions, a series of short films that promised to bring together quote, the best Japanese anime creators, to create new stor...
Animators Could Draw Rimuru However They Wanted on That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.3 года назад
There’s a lot of isekai anime that have been airing lately. Some would say too many. But the one that’s been particularly standout and found a place as a favourite for me has That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, a story with a pretty self-explanatory premise. OTAQUEST is an initiative dedicated to introducing Japanese pop- and sub-culture to English-speaking fans, direct from Tokyo, Japan. ...
Chainsaw Man Could Change the Future of Anime Events

This weekend starred the MAPPA Stage 10th Anniversary Event, a 5 hour stage event featuring a few announcements, voice actor chats, and games. And as is becoming more common, especially in the wake of the pandemic, this was also streamed on their RUclips channel. In Japan, this was broadcast from 3PM to 8PM, prime viewing hours. But the amount of viewers was far far more than expected for an ev...
The PS1 Wasn't Powerful Enough to Match Legend of Mana's Original Vision
Просмотров 6613 года назад
Remasters and remakes have been Square Enix’s bread and butter lately and there’s been much critical acclaim. So while Legend of Mana’s remastered version may be expected, it’s still exciting. It’s not as beloved as other titles within the Mana series, but now it’s getting another shot. OTAQUEST is an initiative dedicated to introducing Japanese pop- and sub-culture to English-speaking fans, di...
The Man Who Accidentally Pretended to Be Hideo Kojima
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 года назад
Ever since the release of PT, a horror playable demo revealed to be a reboot of Silent Hill and later cancelled, people have been clamouring for Kojima’s entry into horror, and more importantly, the hope that Silent Hill may continue. And now one man in a Dutch studio has become the scapegoat for these dreams. OTAQUEST is an initiative dedicated to introducing Japanese pop- and sub-culture to E...

How Hollywood Invaded the Anime Industry
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.3 года назад
Last week marked the announcement of Lord of the Rings: War of the Rorrihim, an anime feature film that will serve as a prequel to the film trilogy. It wasn’t too long ago that we still regarded anime as being particularly niche, but with the rise of digital streaming and a few blockbuster hits over the years, anime has built up a huge market with some series having mainstream appeal. And of co...
Happy 20th Birthday, Game Boy Advance!
Просмотров 5213 года назад
The Game Boy Advance is 20 years old. That’s making me feel a little old, since it was my first video game console. It was a significant upgrade from the original Game Boy with its 32-bit processor and larger screen. The Game Boy was always famous for being graphically behind-the-times, but way more popular than its competitors, but now the GBA was on par. OTAQUEST is an initiative dedicated to...

Nobody Believed the Hunter X Hunter Anime Would Finish the Chimera Ant Arc
As far as I know, Samurai Pizza Cats only aired in syndicated television during the 1996-97 TV season (Sep 9, 1996 to Sep 5, 1997) mainly on Fox, UPN, and WB affiliates as well as many independent stations.
If Pacific Rim met Inception met The Witcher season 1 😅
Does anyone know how the working conditions are?
May just be shouting into the void but sad to see the site seems to be closed. Its been down for months. I understand it costs money to keep a site active but still sad to see such a treasure trove of great writing gone. My own fault for not archiving the site while it was up I guess. Shouldn't have expected it to be around forever.
I remember watching the original Cardcaptors back in 2002 and I did started to like this series from Nelvana I just wished it's finally released onto SDBD Blu-Ray at last just like Beyblade, Shaman King, Sonic X, Dinosaur King, Saber Riders and the Star Sheriff and Ultimate Muscle.
This sounds like the studio to look out for in the future. Hope Mappa takes a page out of their book.
And now theyre doing DANDADAN IM SO EXCITED
You got the development process for resident evil 4 completely wrong. The reason that the Hookman iteration of the development process got cancelled was purely due to hardware/software limitations. Kawamura was the dev behind the idea and was overambitious with what he tried to pull off. If Mikami didn't like it, then he wouldn't have recorded the presentation video for E3 in 2003, praising and helping to get fans excited for the "Hallucination" version of Resident Evil 4. Mikami only stepped in to take over because he was forced to due to the idea reaching a technical desd end, nothing to do with disliking the concept.

I think Netflix has abandoned Great Pretender. 😢 😢 (not sure why; it’s very good!) Wit Studio wants to do a season 3, so hopefully CrunchyRoll will pick it up, so that we may FINALLY get closure on the MAJOR cliffhanger at the end of season 2. 😂 Actually, a few cliffhangers.
Yeah... This video didn’t age well. Sony shut down Japan Studio, the studio behind Gravity Rush (who also worked on Bloodborne too) in 2021. And with it died my hopes for Gravity Rush 3. Hopefully with Jim Ryan stepping down, Sony will start treating Japanese games with more respect now...
id like to see it, but they still have to remake the original fsn.
fate route
Fappy Matsu 💚
I have my game on Japanese… I couldn’t with the English version. The accents were too much.
Well I just want them to make anime of tsukihime and hollow ataraxia
Zankyou no Terror is probably my favourite anime ever.
Am I the only one who took the title of this video as a reference to Homura? XD
WHERE IS THE MOVIE, MAPPA????
I can't say anything. Sorry, everyone!
❤
MAPPA should learn a lot from Kyoani
gigachad anime
It's also got a GOT voice actor in it!
Not just that. The gritty and darker tone to the story is like game of thrones. Not to mention this is the only final fantasy game that has brothels in their world.
@christbenitez8797 I know it's not just that, that's why I said "also"
I can't with the show!!! ❤n❤ I die of cuteness reach episode yelling EVERYTIME 😫😫😫❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i wish hed remake drakenguard i played that game when i was younger and i enjoyed it in all its horrible (gameplay wise the story was fuckin awesome) glory
Too bad there will be not s2
One of the best game ever I love you Mekhami
Bsd fisheyes 💀
Science Saru is animating the Scott Pilgrim anime
And now they’re working on a Scott pilgrim anime yess!
While I haven’t seen any of the shows that this studio produces (though, after this video, I feel like I really should go and watch a show is they’ve been behind), Science SARU has such diverse and adaptive style with there animation. I’m incredibly amped to see their work and output for the Scott Pilgrim anime. They seem like they’re going to have the perfect blend between anime and Western comics/graphic novels that will suit the adaptation perfectly, imo
JYUSHIMATSU IN SMASH WHEN??? GOODBYE BYLETH LOVE U BUT I THINK I MIGHT BECOME A JYUSHIMATSU MAIN /j
I really wish the BLAME! OVA's turned into a real anime, though I understand why it didn't become one.
Ichimatsu reminds me a lot of my boyfriend tbh but I relate more to Karamatsu so I like him better .
Interesting but I find that ironic because of Ichimatsu hating on Karamatsu
Mecha anime die in 2000s
no but, i didnf also like idol anime before too and now i watched them now 😭
This is really sad :(

Bro please continue your youtube career
His life is so cute and wholesome..about a guy who makes Horror Manga.....I think this story is so cute.😁
funny it's guinea pigs cause they primarily look like hampsters but still adorable, the colours are guinea pig otherwise both are super similar
Gross, using AI to replace real human artists is disgusting.
At this point he should be considered one of the greatest character designers and one of the worst game writers and directors of all time.
this guys mangas are just perfect!
The transformers tv show was actually created and written in the US, and animated in japan and korea in order to sell hasbro licensed copies of japanese toys.
AotSES
Ironic people ask nomura to go but if he does kg will fall flat on its face
Fun fact: The guy who created and directed Molcar, Tomoki Misato, also made the short “My Little Goat” on youtube; its amazing but not for kids or easily triggered people, because it’s incredibly dark and gory, so watch with caution. Check out the other shorts on his channel as well!
I love the art of this very famous show and no matter what situations they are in ,it just awesome
Colorido is the perfect mixture of Japanese and American anime style.
