Insert “Hell” Joke Here


Remember yesterday when I talked about the generally miserable quality of anime anthologies based on Western properties in regards to the Halo: Legends project? Now, imagine the same deal for a brand-new videogame without Halo’s cultural cache. Do you give a shit? EA sure hopes so, because they’re releasing a Dante’s Inferno anime anthology by a bunch of anime studios and directors, for which the trailer is above.

Given that the game is like a crazy-ass anime version of the classic of Western literature anyways, I can’t really fault them for going ahead and making an anime of the game. But I really wonder if this is possibly a good idea for a new franchise. Seems like an unnecessary risk to me, but I’m probably just bitter as a literature nerd. What do you guys think?
