Masked Man
I said wow
Even though Sakuraaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiii and the rest of the folks at Sora and Nintendo are asking us to wait just a little longer on Kid Icarus: Uprising (January-March 2012), they have decided to appease us with not one, not two, but three short animated series featuring characters from the game!
All three are being produced by different studios:
1) The anime by Production I.G (known for such works as "Ghost in the Shell") will feature Pit as the main character. An orthodox 3D action title mixing human artillery, Medusa's lackeys, and Thanatos, God of Death. Scheduled for three (3) episodes.
2) My Twitter was all abuzz while "Madoka Magica" was on the air. Shaft's comical mini-series sets Palutena, Goddess of Light, as the main character. Perhaps this sort of thing is their specialty. Cheerful and amusing. Scheduled for two (2) episodes.
3) Studio 4℃, whose art style is so full of personality (e.g. "MEMORIES," "Animatrix"), are focusing on Medusa. They're visually portraying her actions from the past up until her comeback. Scheduled for one (1) episode.
All three will be available on the 3DS via wireless download, meaning that you can watch them in stereoscopic vision. No date has been set, but they are planning for a worldwide release. (Sakurai also jokes that this could be seen as a "test of strength" between the three studios.)
Looking forward to these!
