Aoi Sekai no Chushin de
 

Original creator (web manga) : Anastacia Shestakova (story), Crimson (art)
Director : Tetsuya Yanagisawa
Character Design : Maki Fujii
Plot summary : All the characters are parodies of Nintendo or Sega games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda etc. Segua Kingdom has been losing the war against Ninterdo Empire but the tables are turned by the appearance of a boy called Gear (a parody of Sonic the Hedgehog).

Cast :
Gear : Nobuhiko Okamoto

According to Moon Phase Diary, the anime will premiere this year. Kouji Tsujitani will be charged as sound director.

bishie Sonic? i think the fangirls are gonna have a field day :heh:

You bet.

*Already started coming up with a Sonic x Mario story*

And for the fanboys, we'll even have a Kirby turned into a busted pink-haired girl. How about anime-ized Falcon ?

EDIT : I looked upon the illustrations and I would say Gear is pretty much a more badass version of a typically hotblooded shounen hero. Since I played so much Super Smash Bros, I would say it's good to have a anime featuring a rivalry between the now-parodied real companies (*cough* Nyaruko *cough*) !

And does Segua worship Neptune and and Ninterdo worship Blanc? I might have to check this out purely for crossover with Hyperdimension Neptunia. Though after playing that it makes me sad this won't contain Sony and Microsoft references/parodies.

Looks like the show is planned to air this fall, according to the Biglobe's fall ranking and its 23th place.
Official website opened

Rest of the cast revealed.

Oh man ...
I want to know : In Baka-updates, they said 9 volumes complete and 8 volumes ongoing ,
And i will fucing watch it !

Thsi si really weird, how did this show get under my radar ?

According for what I heard in Moon Phase, it was intended to be a 5-minutes 20 episodes anime that will air this fall on UHF stations. Of course I'll end up watching it, although they didn't announce the studio though.

I can't believe this series slipped under my radar until now. I have no idea how good or bad this show is going to be (mostly expecting something rather below average), but if it's characters are representing some of my absolute favorite gaming series of all time, then it's a must see for me.

The main character representing Sonic the Hedgehog is just a bonus for me too. I grew up with that game series and it's become very important to me.~

Also came across another picture of the cast:

Sadly the only one I really recognize from the Sega side is Sonic. I do recognize a lot of the Nintendo characters though. Not all of them but quite a few.~

Does it has a PV now? I'll judged it there... There are few manga that has good anime adaptations.

now i think Sonic has a new unimaginable unspeakable challenge, a new enemy he had never faced before in his lifetime, no not Dr. Robotnik/Eggman or Nintendo (Wii U & 3DS?) but the great empire of...... fujoshis!!! :heh:

& btw, hot babe Kirby is so ero moe that it makes me wanna hump my Kirby plushie resting on my shelf for some reason

So I took a look at the manga for a bit, and it seems like this will be a lot different - a bunch of those characters aren't even in that, and the art's a lot different. Which is nice, since the manga was drawn by a doujin artist; probably not the impression Nintendo wants to send.

If it's five minutes an episode, are we looking at a Carnival Phantasm deal? Can't imagine they'd be able to have much of a plot with just that.

Part from Sonic...
Sariod = Samus Aran
Pirika = Pikachu
Carvai = King Dedede
Those are all my guesses. :heh:

Carvai's Kirby.

From this kind of airing schedule, this is less of a TV series and more of a mini series, an event that will come back once every season or so.

Still looking forward to it. The premise is intriguing.

A small OVA series seems about right for this, yeah. I guess some stuff in it must have been changed.

OP: "retrospective world" by Nobuhiko Okamoto (Gear) and Hiro Shimono (Tezhilov)
ED: "0 to 1 no Hana" by Suzuko Mimori (Nel) and Izumi Hashida (Opal)
