The August 2017 issue of CoroCoro Comic, which went on sale on July 12, has announced a web anime based on Sankichi Hinodeya's Splatoon manga.

Hinodeya's manga is an adaptation of the popular Nintendo Wii U action-shooting game of the same title. A sequel game for the Nintendo Switch, titled Splatoon 2, will go on sale on July 21. According to the magazine announcement, the web anime will be made available on CoroCoro Channel on YouTube beginning August 12.

The Splatoon manga began serialization in CoroCoro Comic in 2015 and currently has three compiled volumes in publication. It is licensed in English for North American release by VIZ Media later this year.

Wait whut I thought this was a kids friendly game. So you're telling me there's gonna be an anime now, don't know whether to be excited or not.

What are you implying? That anime can't be for kids?

That's the same question I am asking. I mean... anime have these demographics so I'm pretty sure this will apply to kids as well. It's not too difficult to get it.

YESSSSSS. Splatoon is my life, I can't believe this is actually happening.

I've been getting a lot of luck lately with sequels and adaptations that I want. Hope this keeps up ^^

WiU has enough games to play. Whether they are up to your taste is the only thing debatable. And besides, Splatoon probably did get a boost for being a new Ip and being released during a drought of A grade games, sure. But Splatoon managed to not only sell more and more even months after it got released through word of mouth and it's support. It's online community is still healty even now. Those are achievements it accomplished on it's own strenght.

Anyway, personally I love Splatoon, it got me or at the very least more interested into the shooting genre really. Something that game series like the popular Halo, CoD and whatever didn't achieve.

Splatoon's style, weapon choices and gameplay mechanics are just so fun. Yet in ranked mode it can become immensely competitive. It just strikes an almost perfect balance of fun party gameplay and serious business. (Though Kraken/Bubbler special after receiving damaging is just hax)

CoroCoro Comic, where the manga is serialized, is a magazine aimed at elementary school children. The web anime will be no different in its target demographic.

Look up it's lore though. Splatoon is set in a post apocalyptic world O-o'' Seriously unnerving that piece of info is.

Stay fresh =p

When Nintendo said they wanted to do an anime, I was hoping for Metroid or Zelda.

Splatoon...eh. I'm sure it'll be cute, but that's it.

Ehhhhh????? Well maybe it's just a web anime, but it'll work. I don't mind it being short and simple as long as it looks fun. Actually, this would be a great anime for over-the-top ridiculous comedy. August 12 on Youtube. I hope it goes well!

Nintendo and Masahiro Anbe was planning a collaboration once, could this be it? Third season of Ika Musume with the Inklings?!

I'm actually surprised by the fact that this franchise is going to get an anime to be completely honest (well I don't know about the games a lot but from what I've gathered its a pretty fun/enjoyable game, from just entertaining to sometimes addicting) so I'm curious which people are going to take this and the studio/staff.

Now I highly doubt it would be that great, but as long as it could be fun and enjoyable I'm going to be fine with it.

Wow, here's something I never expected to see.

If they do end up being shorts, I can definitely understand the merit of doing this. Anime has been used as a medium of advertisement quite effectively for some time now, and with Nintendo at the head they can only benefit from this.

Still, it's just an odd concept at its core. I don't really know a whole lot about the manga, but apparently it's coherent enough to develop a web series out of the material.
