 Mobile game developer Cygames announced on Tuesday that it has established a subsidiary company which will focus on animation planning and production. The entity named CygamesPictures was incorporated today with a capital of 50 million yen and is headquartered in Mitaka, a Tokyo suburb. Kouichi Watanabe, who currently serves as President of Cygames, has been named Representative Director of CygamesPictures. The new company will produce animation in-house with the aim of creating higher quality works. Cygames recently posted job openings for a production desk manager, production assistants, animation staff, photography staff, and illustration artists. Cygames previously established an anime division within the main company in March 2015 following the conclusion of the TV anime Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis, which is adapted from its mobile game. That division will be absorbed into the new entity. Shingeki no Bahamut was also announced to receive two new anime adaptations, Manaria Friends and Virgin Soul. The former was scheduled to begin airing on Monday but has been delayed indefinitely. The latter was recently unveiled at AnimeJapan 2016.

| Cool, I especially look forward to their work on season 2 for Bahamut (Virgin Soul). I hope it will be successful. |
 |
| Virgin Soul will be a determine factor if they will do good eh. Looking forward to the enjoyable ride this animation company will provide. |
 |
| High hopes for them. I wonder if they'll make anime adaptations of their other games |
 |
| Thanks god it's In-House, we have a lot of A1 Pictures already. |
| I don't know..games and anime don't mix well..:/ |
| o wow those niggas got really lucky with bahamut now they have their own fucking animation branch |
| Nice, I wish them all the best. |
 |
| Interesting to see a new studio. I wonder if they will go with the boring and uncreative flow or try to actually add something to the industry, |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Granblue Fantasy anime inc. |
| Why is everyone talking like they'll be the main studio for Virgin Soul? I thought it's still MAPPA though they could be helping with that as sub studio. Now I'm pretty sure they'll be the ones working on Manaria Friends instead of Studio Hibari which explained the reason for its delay. |
| UMA MUSUME! I want it NOW! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYrVKLBhitE |

| Cool but... if it'll lead to an abundance of video game adaptations then I'm not so hyped |

  |
| They nice with it, SnB could turn into a nice franchise. Looking forward to more of their games getting anime. |

| So is this goodbye MAPPA? Damn, MAPPA was just used. Well, maybe this is a good news? Not even close! |
| Haters always gonna hate. |

Raina- said: Rayzer said: Why would this be a goodbye to MAPPA?So is this goodbye MAPPA? Damn, MAPPA was just used. Well, maybe this is a good news? Not even close! I mean MAPPA won't get involved much with Shingeki no Bahanut, like before. Because they are already having their own animation studio. And this is basically why Manaria Friends got delayed indefinitely. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| Huu... A new anime-studio-star will soon born..? This could be interesting, well let's see, how this process still developing will...^_^ |
 |
| The trend of mobile games getting anime has become increasingly apparent over the past 2 years or so. Now, if only all were like the first Bahamut... |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
malki said: I don't know..games and anime don't mix well..:/ Well it's mobile games, so they don't really have much of story. So it will up to the staff to make something like Bahumt. Games in general don't mix well with adaptations. |
 |
| What do we want? UMA MUSUME! When do we want it? Yes, right now. |

We can't know exactly what is the motive behind Manaria Friends, it was probably a conflict in the production team, that can be the director, the president of Hibari, Cygames, anyone.. I doubt it was anything to do with they having a animation studio, because they need time to start produce anime, it's not like "Studio created, anime six months later". |
| i guess the anime Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis boost the sales of their games good since the disc sales are just above the manabi line of that one now they are making more anime to boost more the sales of their games |
Zeta said: j0x said: i guess the anime Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis boost the sales of their games good since the disc sales are just above the manabi line of that one now they are making more anime to boost more the sales of their games Most of their games are free and use the gatcha system, and popular gatcha games can easily make up to a million on a single day. It's more about selling merch now, including BDs. And SnB and Granblue Fantasy are very popular to begin with. i see, well the disc average sales of Genesis is just average i guess they are going to boost the merchandise sales then, or even promote more their free games through making more anime to get it more popular |

moodie said: It's not. It's not a matter of doing something ground-breaking time after time but how you present old tropes. There's a huge difference between doing something already done in an interesting way by actually putting some effort into it and just doing the same shit over and over again...Antanaru said: There is nothing to add.

| Cygames think too much of their game, which only gave the character designes. Wasn't Bahamut's success because of the scriptwriter, the executive director and the animation team of studio Mappa? Only because it was success it doesn't mean the new studio will make profit because the original anime is from Mappa, right? These people sure are foxes! Now they are concurents of mappa and all other anime studios. The questiom is can the anime world handle one more studio. Anime isn't selling very well right now. We all know what happened to Manglobe, right! |
 |
| it look like they also estabilishing manga subsidiary too... o_O https://cycomi.com/ look like digital manga... anyone know the title they already publish? site got blocked in my country... can't acces it or broken or time limit... @ichii_1 @Jinbou @Nikoru-san @Mogami-kun look like uma musume manga will come first and i think it's guaranted if above is true... just checking using vpn, already has 3 chapter currently.. why this news not on mal? |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
The anime subsidiary news must have overshadowed it. The uma musume manga is a spin off, it focuses on one girl and it has male mc. |
