Konami releases a NEW Anime? Thecalieffect reacts to animation chonicle

[@androiduser3895]

Konami was apparently using this to advertise that they now have an animation department. This doesn't mean anime, but could lead to it

[@tarikkash4282]

Anything's possible

[@jenniferhamels1176]

I can definitely see at least web series. Like how Pokemon Company has done with "Generations" and "Origins" web series.

[@symphonixblades]

well asides from this, their animation studio already made an anime opening

[@androiduser3895]

@@symphonixblades yeah but it wasn't Yu-Gi-Oh related. This seems more like it's just another animation studio that's also a part of konami. Konami is an online gambling company, video game company and now animation studio (possibly more but that's all I know) doesn't mean it will happen, just that it can happen even easier now

If they do start animating all the lures for different archetypes I think it will get more of the people who like anime. I would really like to see this come to fruition.

I would actually watch a series dedicated to the lore within the card art. They already have an incredible amount of material to work with, this is a perfect opportunity for a cash cow that would actually make the fans happy.

[@relic5752]

​@@OmarAhmed-x1k Even the archetypes that don’t have enough lore for a show, have enough for a one-three episode miniseries

[@ShisamiiFGC]

I feel it should be a series of the lore of a bunch of decks. Give every deck 2-8. Episodes as needed.

[@eddy9524]

This should be like an anthology where each archetype is like 1 hour episodes like netflix or 2 to 3 part episode stories. Or Like american horror stories where each season is a different archetype story.

[@jakesmith5200]

Totally agree with Cali's point on YGO being rich in lore. Konami clearly has some talented writers thinking up the backstory for these archetypes. Would absolutely love to see it be made into a series or even an OVA.

[@sfLionheart]

A series of 1-2 OVAs per archetype would be incredible and a great way to get people invested into cards that never saw light in the official anime. Imagine Super Quantum & Rescue-ACE in a tokusatsu crossover type beat. Magnus vs Turbulence & Preventer.

[@AbstractTheArtist]

There’s so much potential in all the different worlds of lore to explore (if they do this right but I know that’s a prayer)

[@Gugu-Gaitan]

This could be just SO Big! Yuhioh's lore is so rich they could go with a love, death and robots type of anime In which every lore arc would have its own animation Styles😮

[@markchang2964]

6:17 I have been bamboozled!!

[@andreramos8303]

Zefra lore would be insane as an anime. It combines so many archetypes. Yang Zing, Nekroz, Shaddolls, Satellar knights, ritual beasts, oracle of zefra stemming from Naturia tree. Also, can't believe they didnt include the Pendulum Magicians

[@MansMan42069]

Tellarknights being connected to Constellars and the other related archetypes like lswarm.

[@evanwildermann7034]

World legacy and tearlaments lore would be dope 2

[@peterzelaya9948]

Yessssss World legacy has world chalice, krawlers, mekk knights, knightmare, orcust, crusadia. Visas StarFrost has scareclaw, tearlament, kashtira, and mannadium Each archetype should have their own episode honestly

[@Denyed_]

At the end of the video it shows a credit for Konami Animation studio so this is probably just like a film reel of what they are working on or potentially plan to work on. Hopefully they deep dive with an episode or two of each (maybe more for others like Albaz or World Legacy) and extend on stuff. There are so many cool, silly and downright brutal stories they can tell from card art alone. I love this game man.

[@W_Sir_Morpheus]

They should run this like the pokemon web series " generations", a bunch of 3-8 minute stories. Give the fans more lore! Need the six sams, exodia, dragon rulers, fire kings v atlanteans, and diabellstar stories 👏👏👏

[@John_1-1_in_Japanese]

My only fear is that the animation studio is just going to take over for Bridge after Go Rush!! ends and we're getting more cardgame anime instead. Not that I'm entirely opposed, mind you, some people have been whispering "DM reboot/sequel" and that legit sounds good. Also, we still need a red Extra Deck type to finish the rainbow. A DM reboot or follow-up would be the ultimate appeal to nostalgia. But card lore anime tie-ins that bring us to the duel spirit world would be just as good for cross-promo, since it would help the game reach new audiences that aren't ALREADY interested in YGO or other CCGs. That goes beyond anime too, mind you, I still feel like the World Legacy saga was BORN to be a JRPG plot.

[@afoninja121]

I would be so hyped for an anthology series.

[@Trustypatch43]

I hope it's an anime with a few episodes per archetype or at least one each, there's so much potential for an interesting show

[@bluesorcerer83]

That would be fine to introduce each archetype, but if Konami wanted to be really ambitious, they would make crossovers in which two or more archetypes met each other, had rivalries, or fought a common enemy.

[@teoman_aslan]

It would be soooo good for Yugioh to make their in archtype lores as an anime but with good Animation yata yata. Like Albaz, Visas, DT, Dracoslayer, Zefra Lore i guess, Sky Striker, etc.

[@jojomations2596]

[@michaelwanty1239]

[@leatherhitman7401]

Could, you, IMAGINE? Episodes and seasons revolved around these lores. Epic clashes, tie-in's and more. Endless possibilities, plus decks abandoned by the wayside would see resurgence based on the show.

[@sofarsogood8680]

Basically they want to introduce their animation studios, and most likely they will release sky striker anime because of its manga is out there already. But at the same times, i feel the quality is not the same as many before it.

Konami can do like Warhammer+. One or two episodes covering a lore, and a series for those bigger lores.

[@regalseagullGA]

Awesome!! Love all the art styles!!

[@PaladinKevin]

Maybe next time, Konami will include Buster Blader, as well as new support for the game.

[@grodon909]

I assume what it may end up being is a season of one shots +/- a series or ova with sky striker. They displayed 12 archetypes + strikers if I counted correctly, and 12 episodes is a typical cour or season length for anime. Granted, they wouldn't be able to cover much of albaz or duel terminal, and a lot of these would probably work better as an ova or full series, but an inital episode may be lower risk if they are gaging interest and market viability.

[@Chronoic]

If this is the new way they make their new anime, I am watching it, i'm more interested in the lore of the cards then some kids playing a card game.

I do agree I would like this type of yugioh anime instead of the current yugioh anime we have been getting honestly the current yugioh animes were starting to get old after zexal Or even a video game that goes over lore or something would also be good but honestly lost interest in the card game itself for now

[@hasansyrf]

I Can't believe they didn't show World Legacy story in this...

[@jacobwoodard818]

I also believe that cable and other websites that need to move away from the idea of multiple long 3 min. plus commercials and do commercials like KZbin.

[@Thousandeyes85]

[@thekittenfreakify]

They can easily do 15-20 episodes per lore.

Surprised they just aren’t releasing an anime where the main character summons 10 plus times in a turn to reflect the current game of yugioh but the chronicles work too :)

[@saigaryuu7565]

[@Jake-ih8lp]

They should feature cyber dragon and heroes, those have major backstory to them

Yu-Gi-Oh the Chronicles is pretty much based on the monsters, story and Outlook of how they became to be in the card game.

[@nathanmcclung3564]

As odd as yugioh has been for me over the years the lore was always a highlight of the experience. It is not just archetypes but even one off cards that have great backstories that really makes me happy to play the game even tho I am not exactly good at it.

Some archetypes are too deep to cover in short form videos so the pokemon method might not be as effective although some archetypes can be broken into “releases” and going that route literally gives Konami the opportunity to infinitely release archetype support and new anime episodes 👌

[@four-en-tee]

Its a promotional video, but it does seem like they're gauging interest. Really hope they proceed with greenlighting a proper anime series. The fact its trending shows that people still care enough about Yugioh to want something like this, and seeing a lot of these archetypes that i've grown emotionally attached to was a really nice treat. My thoughts on their attempts to revive Silent Hill have been mixed (i really dont like that Bloober Team is leading the remake of SH2 and Ascension has been awful), but it looks like on the Yugioh side of things that Konami is really giving a shit. I mean, it is their #1 property currently. I wish it wasn't their #1, that went to Silent Hill and then Metal Gear before their treatment of Kojima and Team Silent, but Yugioh's still a pretty good choice to have as your flagship product. Konami has a long ways until I can look at them even somewhat favorably again, but this is where you'd start building back good will. My only other suggestion to Konami as far as Yugioh goes (aside from returning back to the more consumer friendly OCG set structure) would be to credit artists on cards. For what its worth, Konami has been doing a good job lately trying to address the balancing of their game (card prices aside), so i won't harp on them there right now.

[@soulstarved4116]

I'm pretty sure they're just flexing the fact they can do it, but I don't think we're getting anything any time soon. So Skystriker has a manga, I think, so maybe that one has the most potential for an anime. But as for the others, I don't think there is enough content for a series. It would probably be a short story style where they give an archetype an episode or two.

[@zekiel2533]

Visas duel terminal and branded has enough

[@elemomnialpha]

Not gonna lie Imo if you think this ISN'T leading into a Yu-Gi-Oh anime you're kinda coping Sure this is specifically a teaser for their studio but the website says it's going to focus on Konami IP and at that point why dedicate the ENTIRE thing to not just Yu-Gi-Oh but a specific section of it instead of just having each segment be a different Konami IP if it wasn't because they're doing a Yu-Gi-Oh Card based anime? Like they completely kept YUGI out of this and none of the sections were really given to anime original archetypes (aside from Eyes of Blue being Blue-Eyes adjacent and Exodia getting a single picture)

[@kuronoch.1441]

Thing is, judging from the teaser, they will start gauging interest by adapting the Sky Strikers manga that was just finished.

[@zerolb33]

Sky Stryker scene= Akame ga kill vibes

[@kcguardian]

If they decide to do full seasons to follow the lore of some cards, you would have people invested if the story is solid. What they should do is if they make anime seasons is do lore exclusive formats in tournaments for the story being told at the time. Players play decks native to the lore being animated and see which pieces are able to come out on top. Would be a good way to get people interested in old cards, and learning the history of the game at the same time.

[@emilianatsuki8888]

Now imagine everytime you summon a monster or activate a card they have a cutscene now.....also CHARMERS FTW

[@satorugojo6229]

Konami literally has a vault worth of potential anime. And they still choose to make anime about people playing a card game. Missed opportunity.

[@konstantinoskoutlas7608]

If konami ever makes another yugioh anime, it should not create another protagonist and just take every archetype and lore it made, have every episode tell the players their story or few a episodes depending how big each archetype lore is and basically entice the viewers to actually learn about each archetype and attract them to play the game.

[@Daltun89]
