Entertainment Company Disney announced an anime adaptation of its Disney: Twisted Wonderland smartphone game at its APAC Content Showcase event on Thursday.

The game follows the main character who is summoned to another world by a magic mirror and arrives at the magic training school, Night Ravens College. The main character is taken in by the school's headmaster and becomes acquainted with the school's top students, each in seven different dormitories, while searching for a way home.

The mobile game by Aniplex in collaboration with Disney was announced in 2019 and released in Japan for iOS and Android the following March. Yana Toboso (Kuroshitsuji) created the draft, main scenario, and character design for the school of villains adventure game. The game features male characters inspired by Disney villains and received approximately 1.5 million downloads at release.

A manga adaptation by Wakana Hazuki and Sumire Kowono, titled Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Comic: Episode of Heartslabyu began serialization in Square Enix's Monthly GFantasy on March 18.

The story and everything is done by the fujo that wrote Black Butler, so don't have your hopes too high.

Interesting. Didn’t expect this to be adapted. A bit scared at first but Black Butler author is doing the draft so it should be fine.
CloverWorks is following the anime Twitter, so not sure if they will animate it.

It'll be one of those otome adaptations that will have 5.96/10 a week after it finishes airing, just saying.

Hey that's the thing my sister plays because she likes two of the voice actors. Seems kinda shitty from my research though.

Looks like Disney is slowly taking over the Anime world too. First, they started with Star wars Visions and now this. I hope it does not happen.

I play the game since launch and the lore is amazing, this is not the first anime that Disney produce and the things they did are really good, but knowing how this adaptations works I'm not sure if this will be amazing too, and then saw on Twitter that Yana Toboso wasn't aware of it so my expectations are really low.

This is made primarily for the Japanese market, so I don't think Disney is going to do their usual shit here.

Let's goo I wonder what the story is gonna be about, since main story is still on going in the game. Maybe it'll be just be SoL schenanigans.

Welp as long as the Octavinelle trio gets a lot of screentime I'll be happy.

Yeah, I HOPE IT NEVER HAPPENS, please Disney, go away.
With Star Wars I "accepted" it because Star Wars can be adapted into anything and it was a 100% japanese production, also because Star Wars got influence from Japanese Samurai culture and films directed by Akira Kurosawa.

Now this was not unexpected with how huge the game is, but still I'm so stoked to see what they'll do with the plot of it. Will it end up like Obey me! (just SoL stuff with the guys) despite having a pretty elaborate and ongoing story, who knows. It depends on the studio, budget, director, will Yana Toboso be involved etc. Regardless, keeping my fingers crossed for the best!

I didn't get the chance to play the game, but with how much I do know about the plot and characters as it is, I'm certain they have plenty material to work with, albeit otome game adaptations not having much of a positive reputation. Hopefully Twst can be better!

The only Disney anime that doesn't make me want to break my computer. Basically since I know this was originally made for the Japanese audience I guess...


I'm a fan of Yana Toboso and would love to play this game though but the Karens would have a shitfit probably

The designs looks nice but the synopsis seems generic. And its mobile game adaption, but Yana Toboso credited here is interesting

I'd rather have an English version of the game but maybe it's better there isn't, I might go broke...

I will wait and see how the anime turns out! The main story in the game is ongoing and a lot of characterization happens in the events, so...

It takes place in an all boys school though... if the mc ends up being female, they'll just get isekai gender bend anyway. The MC would be a lie but hey, it's adds something more to the premise a little more now too.

Regardless on how things are playing out so far in the making of this. I'm looking forward on the end result whenever that may be. Could be an interesting watch if anything to it.
