It's weird how they advertise these things.

Though that doesn't apply on all mobile game.
FGO and FE-Heroes does have good story.

But, like, why? J.C.Staff already has many projects for this year, including Index III and OPM 2. Also, what's the point of making a 2-cour adaptation for a mobile game that hasn't even came out in Japan? I'm genuinely mad right now.

An adaptation of a video game with so-so staff. Not a good combination. Let's see if the PVs will impress me.

STOOOOOOP!

My apologies, I noticed them just now. It's quite another matter, now this title instantly grew up in my eyes.

100,000+ and growing. That can't sustain an industry whatsoever.

This looks good. The main character looks beautiful

I'm also glad that this is 2 cour

Also, I don't hate anime based on game adaptation because most of them were good (only few were bad like Ace Attorney)

J.C.Staff can easily make 3 anime at same time

For example, Prison School, Shimoneta to Iu Gainen and Shokugeki no Souma (2nd half) all aired at same time

Okay, another phone anime. How about a Fire Emblem or Sonic anime? Mario and Sonic are already getting theatrical animated films in the next few years.
Was Sonic X just such a failure that studios dare not touch up on making a proper Sonic action-comedy anime with characters from the games and plot like the Ian Flynn comics?

The staff look really questionable and cellphone game adaptations tend to face a number of noticeable issues. I don't notice a PV either, so I can't really say anything about how the story or any of the characters. I guess I'll pass on this, no reason to tie me down.

I think its safe to assume that OPM2 will come in 2019. JC Staff has 4 anime this spring and 3 more this summer lol.

I think they were working on these titles way before they took OPM over in their hands.

It's about a war between 1 million different king Arthur's IIRC. I don't follow it or anything but I remember reading that the story gets a little wild after a while because Index's author writes scenarios for it.


Now I'm even more confused :). But if I understand you correctly, this game has a one author with Index and Railgun?

Yes. He isn't the creator, but he writes most of the story.


Well, the idea seems to be good and there are a few of my favorite seiyu, so I'll try to get acquainted with this anime.

Because it's aiding in the destruction of the gaming industry. Look at what happened to Konami, mobile turned a company that was part of the childhoods of hundreds of millions of people world into the hottest garbage in the gaming industry in only a few years.

Wasn't it more because of how they treated their games? Rather than the adaptions themselves?

These mobile adaptations are made for selling the games that are destroying the industry, so they are part of the problem.

Lol, you need to explore mobile gacha more if you say FEH has a good story

Many mobages almost always got awful adaptation even though their original story is good. Mobage adaptation always a scapegoat for cancerous anime world.

Well i don't lurk in mobile games much.
I took FEH because all the fire emblem relation it has and i liked the gameplay.
Also it's Nintendo we had as backup, i don't want to get through over weird game that keep asking you for money meanwhile the balance already broken AF.

Would've spent the money on PS4 or PC game instead of microtr

That's not how it works in reality and even in Japan. Many games have more public after their anime adaptations.
