Suikoden II-inspired series will be Konami Animation’s first TV anime production
In February of last year, Konami started its own anime studio, appropriately called Konami Animation. Now, one year later, the studio is embarking on its first full TV anime project to adapt Suikoden II. Much like the studio’s name, the title of the anime is another no-brainer. Suikoden: The Anime aims to bring the second entry in the series — which first hit PlayStation back in 1998 — to the screen at an as-yet-undecided date. So far, outside of the source material, the only thing we really know is that Yuzo Sato (MUTEKING THE Dancing HERO) is directing. Prior to this, the recently-established Konami Animation got its start working on animation production for Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game The Chronicles. The pair of anime shorts were created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the game. This and a bunch of other Suikoden-related news was revealed during Konami’s “Gensou Suikoden Live” streaming event. You can see the full presentation below, with the brief anime reveal starting at around the 17:25 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIjGwGAJJ4s While we wait for the full dish on the anime, there’s more Suikoden on the horizon. Chief among the other announcements is Suikoden: Star Leap, a mobile game with a new 108-star story set in the same world as earlier entries. There’s no release date yet, but this one will be a free-to-play game on iOS and Android. Aki Shimizu, who handled the Suikoden III manga, has a manga adaptation in the works for Star Leap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKOZqkjPcWk From the screen to the stage, Suikoden is also entering the expansive world of stage plays in Japan. Gensou Suikoden - Mon no Monshou Sensou-hen (Suikoden: The Crest of the Gate War Arc) aims to cover the first game in Konami’s series. Norihito Nakayashiki is writing and directing, and performances will begin in Tokyo’s Theater H and Kyoto’s Kyoto Theater this December. Lest we neglect the more immediate future, Konami also shared a launch trailer for Suikoden I & II HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars, which hits consoles and PC later this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIu8cPX_Za8 And just like that, Suikoden fans went from hungry to full in a matter of minutes.
