Kuroko's Basketball 3DS Video Previews Customizable Teams (& Bear Ears)

Kuroko no Basuke -Shōri e no Kiseki- can create dream team from 4 high schools with custom outfits

Namco Bandai Games began streaming the second promotional video for the Kuroko no Basuke -Shōri e no Kiseki- (Kuroko's Basketball -The Path to Victory-) game on Monday.

The game tells an original story, set just before the Winter Cup tournament. It features anime characters Tetsuya Kuroko (Kensho Ono), Taiga Kagami (Yuuki Ono), Ryōta Kise (Ryohei Kimura), Shintarō Midorima (Daisuke Ono), Daiki Aomine (Junichi Suwabe), Atsushi Murasakibara (Kenichi Suzumura), "Emperor" Seijūrō Akashi (Hiroshi Kamiya), Makoto Hanamiya (Jun Fukuyama), and Tatsuya Himuro (Kishô Taniyama) in super-deformed style with voices for every line of dialogue.
Players can create their own dream teams after they beat the Seirin High, Kaijō High, Shūtoku High, and Tōō Academy versions. Players can choose the best players from each high school and continue playing with the "freedom version" feature after completing the main game.
The game will also allow players to change characters' outfits and add accessories like glasses and bear ears. In the original Kuroko's Basketball manga and its anime adaptations, the characters Riko and Momoi sometimes appear in a bear shirt similar to the one shown in the video.
A playable demo of the game is available to download for the Nintendo 3DS via a QR code printed in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, the home of the original manga. More downloadable content will also be available to players after they beat the game. Additional content will allow fans to see what happens after the events in the main game. As a bonus, a player's first download will be free.
Production I.G's television anime adaptation premiered last spring and the second season premiered this past fall. Crunchyroll is streaming the second season as it airs in Japan.
Kuroko no Basuke -Shōri e no Kiseki- will ship in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS on February 20, 2014. The first copies of the game will include a downloade code for another free story episode.

Shirobako Movie: Unbox anime's nitty-gritty

From "8½" to "Day for Night" to "Dolemite Is My Signature," movie history is full of filmmaking. The latest addition to this self-referential genre is Tsutomu Mizushima's "Shirobako the Film," an anime about the blood, sweat and beers that brought an animated film on screen. It is the sequel to the television series "Shirobako," which aired from 2014 to 2015 and focused around Aoi Miyamori (voiced by Juri Kimura), a newly minted production assistant at the fictional Musashino Animation who, along with the viewer, discovers the ins and outs of how anime is produced from scratch to screen — and all the speed bumps that pop up along the way. Since canceling an in-progress sequence, the film opens four years later, with the great Musashino Animation a shadow of its former self. With the studio floundering, one of its executives comes to Miyamori with a bold plan: make an original theatrical film to be completed in less than a yea...

An anime-inspired campaign by anime director Mads Broni and Passion Animation Studios

MullenLowe partnered with Danish director Mads Broni and Passion Animation Studios to create an anime-inspired advertisement for one of UK's favorite restaurant chains, Wagamama. Called Bowl to Soul, it's based on the brand's affiliation with Japanese food and its founding philosophy that food not only feeds our heart, it "feeds our soul." The ad shows this by demonstrating Wagamama food's restore sensation. Upon taking her first taste, the ad's heroine tumbles into a magical land filled with streaming ramen rivers, ondulating coriander fields and spice fireworks. That doesn't sound bad. And it's a good way to appeal to those of us who haven't appreciated the magic of "your food will come out when it's ready." Created by a mixture of hand-drawn and computer-illustrated artwork, the film brings together a wide range of modern, diverse images and characters, each frame being a unique illustration influenced by anime art.
