Feel like the Raye teaser at the end might have suggested an anime based on the Sky Striker Manga, but everything else was just a neat showcase of the new studio's ability, with each video highlighting a different animation style, even going 3D w/Zeus+Typhon

[@gabrielarocena3074]

For the forseeable future, the Sky Striker storyline from OCG stories will be their main project, with some of the studio resources dedicated to do animated trailers for the big product releases such as the Core Boosters, Structure Decks and Deck Build Packs. But I could see them eventually branch off towards more card storylines in an anthology format, since some storylines like Solfacord or Zeus can just be adapted to a 15-20 minute OVA. The more extensive storylines like Duel Terminal and Visas would require much more funding and time to develop.

[@btg009]

[@cah137-y4s]

I know they said this is just a demo reel for their new animation studio, but I sincerely hope it's also serving as a backdoor pilot for a lore anime, because if we got a full series based on what we saw here I would absolutely lose it.

[@galaxyvulture6649]

There's definitely a higher chance now with them branching out with lore. They started incorporating it a lot in master duel, they made a sky striker manga, and there's light novels apparently. With the success of master duel I could see them pushing it more. Lore in this game has been getting far more popular too.

[@RavenCloak13]

To add on to what Galaxy said, it just be economical. Especially since Yugioh is there most profitable IP because they fucked up there games division when they tried to move into Pachinko but then Corona hit.

Between the pre-built storylines like Duel Terminal or World Legacy and the _dozens_ of archetypes that could easily carry a 12-episode anime on their own, Konami is sitting on an absolute goldmine of content that could keep the money rolling in for a couple decades; and that mine is only getting deeper, since Konami just keeps on printing new archetypes with banger concepts and aesthetics.

[@RavenCloak13]

Especially with tie in stuff they could do with Albaz and the new Albaz lore collection boxes coming this year, Sky Strikers manga exist already, Zeus was too damn hype and just imagine if they added Drytron/Ursartic or Kozmos to Zeus lore or even introduce a whole Olympian mechs vs Greek Titans mechs. Visa Starfrost would be an easy series to make, Live Twins being promotional use mascots in VTuber space and Duel Terminal lore alone can make multiple series. Charmers would be a massive amount of merch sales on magical girl school life with some Dharc ship baiting thrown in. This would make people buy SOOOOO much merch.

The Albaz lore might be big, but Magistus is potentially bigger. Magistus is the origin point of Invoked, Witchcrafter, and Endymion. From that we go to Spellbooks and the Skilled Magicians; each leading to Dark Magician, Buster Blader, Gaia/BLS, Archfiends, and Kuriboh.

And Live Twins being promotional type characters for upcoming projects and you could even have movies like Gold Pride that's just a massive space race like Red Line.

Honestly, anime based on card lore would be the best thing they could do for promoting the card game since 5Ds. I doubt the card game anime brings anyone new in, especially since they've moved on to Rush Duel to get around the endless one-upmanship (I still want more colors of extra deck cards tho) but taking cards out of the picture would give much wider appeal. I was just doing the World Legacy solo mode on MD, that shit could use a 26 episode fantasy epic.

I was always saying how cool all the lore is. It’s so hard to get the stories right with just art and some hints alone. Making it nearly impossible to explain why I like to so much to clueless people. Master duel does some of the lore with its solo modes, but it’s so short or just repeats flavor text or what it does. It doesn’t fulfill what I wanted so badly. I guess if we get hyped enough, they will make all the shows we could hope for. Even making more card lore to make even more animes. The dream.
