| The story has TONS of potential but the question is: will they adapt it well? I really, really love the characters of the Twisted Wonderland game. They're all unique, fun, and likeable. The ongoing story itself is also quite good, with plenty of humor and heart to be had. If they don't screw up the anime adaptation with lazy animation, chopped up story, and awful pacing, then it could honestly be a huge hit. The problem is: most adaptations of games ARE lazy and bad. Why? Because they know fans of the game are going to watch it anyway and give them their views and therefore their advertising $$$. I'm obsessed with the Twisted Wonderland game and so I'm praying that this adaptation is an exception, and is really nice. A potential positive (?) is that because it's a Disney work, they could make sure it's decent. The downside to this of course is that it will probably be hard and annoying to watch the subtitled version; it will probably be on Disney+ if I had to guess and the dialogue is sure to be completely rewritten and not a true direct translation of the Japanese version (this is how many of the dialogue lines are in the game). |
| If they don't try to push an OC self-insert left and center and don't cut corners it should work fine.Unlike other gacha, the MC in TW is often unnoticeable allowing the light to shine on actual in-game characters the players care about |
| Yes, it is worth looking. Looks promising at least. |

I have a feeling that initially they'll just adapt Rose-Red Tyrant for the nth time. 😆 The pacing shouldn't be bad if they take the approach of 1 Book = 1 season. The only downside of that would be if the anime doesn't gain enough viewers and we don't get subsequent seasons up to Book 7. |

It's a double-edged sword. 1 book per season would be excellent for pacing, and we could have anime-exclusive moments or developments that could be great. But TWST popularity could fizzle out after like 3 seasons of airing then, and then we will never see the rest adapted. I wonder if 2 books per season would be a bad idea? I think they could do it especially with the first 4 books, which are shorter than the others. |

But then it likely would be: Season 1: Prologue and Book 1 Season 2: Books 2 and 3 Season 3: Books 4 and 5 Season 4: Books 6 and 7 |

| My phone would catch on fire trying to play the game, so good to hear that the story sounds really decent. I follow Black Butler to this day, so I've always been a lil interested in Twisted Wonderland. I've seen the anniversary clips that were put out and they look fine. I could never shake the vibe of it being an otome game from the character design (just has that kind of look, yknow?) so I'm interested in seeing what the plot actually is and maybe rewatching those clips sometime after. |

@complexities Hmm, the prologue to the book 4, i think will be good with 2 or 3 books per season, but book 5 is pretty long, book 6 it's more long than the book 5 and book 7, well... i think will be good if those last 3 have a season for each
| @mineyukicchi I understand now that book 6 is longer than book 5. I still haven't finished playing it. 😆 |
