MAPPA will work in the animated scenes of the Inazuma Eleven video game in a confirmed way, but… is there anything else?
Level 5, the video game company, stepped up a short time ago by making commercials for cascoporro. One of the most important was by far the worldwide launch of the video game “Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road”, which will have outrageous things like the ability to sign 4,500 different players. Almost nothing. But what a lot of people have also started talking about is something that has generated a lot of confusion: is there an anime on the way for MAP?
What exactly was announced about Inazuma Eleven and MAPPA’s involvement?
Before commenting on what has been said about it, and determining whether or not it is true that the study behind “Shingeki no Kyojin” will pounce on “Inazuma Eleven”, I leave you with a series of images that are the source of much of the confusion (via @PunchoYT):
And now yes, to comment on the crux of the matter:
- NO, THERE IS NO INAZUMA ELEVEN: VICTORY ROAD ANIME IN PRODUCTION.
- What was announced then concerning MAPPA and the video game? Well, the study of Shingeki no Kyojin, Jujutsu Kaisen and other anime wonders in recent years, will be in charge of working on the cinematics of the video game. The idea is to create multiple stories that help immersion towards delivery.
- Could an Inazuma Eleven anime be announced by MAPPA eventually? well it could be. After all, the franchise is by no means alien to the genre, and in fact has a very famous anime debut. Of course, in case no one expects something like this to come out this year, since the studio has some very important projects ahead of it like Jigokuraku, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, and the ending of Shingeki no Kyojin.
I found the explanatory article handy since my anime comps quickly saw that On Twitter, a lot of issues have been raised following the misinformation regarding MAPPA’s participation in the video game. So now you know, if someone told you that MAPPA will be working on an “Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road” anime, you can tell them that for now “nanai de la china”.
