NAZ wants to surprise us with an original work by Atsushi Ikariya (Sabikui Bisco)
From my point of view it’s enough It’s unusual for a Japanese anime to seek innovation and step out of the “comfort zone”. Every season, there are many isekai series, high school romantic comedies, or fight anime that usually don’t provide elements that we haven’t already seen in other productions. However, we may soon witness the arrival of a work that could mark a milestone in this industry: Special Kid Factory.
According to its main leaders, this project is defined as “the first original interactive animefrom the award-winning studio NAZ (creators of Hajimete no Gal and Id: Invaded series). By not sharing more information about it, no one knows exactly what they mean by interactive anime. Will it be a series in which viewers can make decisions in real time?
