In less than two weeks, anime distributor ADV Films has gobbled up two significant games-to-anime licenses. Last week, IGN broke the news that the anime juggernaut was bringing Xenosaga stateside. Today at Anime Expo, the company announced that they will be importing another licensed anime dear to gamers' hearts, the Capcom mega-hit Devil May Cry.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Kinda obvious that it would be licensed for US because it is a anime based on a game. The 2nd episode was pretty good, the 1st one was a bit boring.
keep up the good work and make it a big series of anime on dvd or bluerey
They suck.
So far anime based on video games haven't been so good. I hear Blue Dragon is good but just don't compare it to the game because the story differs for both. I liked the direction Devil May Cry was heading towards, I just hope they don't ruin it. So far so good for DMC anime.
No more fansubbing unless the fansubber is not located in North America >_< But video game animes are a mix... there have been only a couple, like Tales of Symphonia has started off good, Blue Dragon was a bit bland, Tales of Eternia I liked, Gungrave was actually decent, Zone of Enders I liked! But yea, there are mostly poorly made video game animes, such as.. Megaman, Sonic, Xenosaga, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, Pokemon (sigh), Final Fantasy Unlimited, Viewtiful Joe and So on...
Oh well, hopefully I get this series for review =D ADV seems to be picking up alot of cool anime lately ;)
