GALAGA ANIMATED SERIES IN DEVELOPMENT

>>94050399
>“We are incredibly honored to be able to work on such an amazing legacy property and help launch it into the animated space,” Jansson said. “There is such a deep love for this game from fans around the world, and our team is excited make sure the next chapter in the Galaga saga is equally impressive and inspiring as its humble 8-bit beginnings.”

>Added Hirotaka Watanabe, an executive officer at Bandai Namco: “While the re-imagining of the game into animation will be unique and, for the first time in Galaga’s history, story- and character-based, there is also a great respect for its history.”

>The Galaga deal continues the trend of transferring video games to film and TV, including such properties as Lara Croft and World of Warcraft.

Yeah, that was pretty much my reaction too. Cautiously optimistic though.

This belongs in Saturday Supercade.

I mean, it could be anything. What kind of story is there to build off of?

Remember when Namco made the Mappy office comedy? Nobody does except me. It was comfy. The only thing anyone remembers that whole venture for is Homestuck, and even that was swiftly forgotten.

My brother and I used to joke about a Pong movie starring Vin Diesel where aliens are trying to use their massive planar spaceship to bounce the Earth into the sun, so Diesel's character has to pilot the giant experimental P.A.D.D.L.E. ship to bounce it back into orbit

I hope this is kind of like that.

I watched that, and also read/watched the Bravoman stuff. It's a shame that neither of them got any attention for those series.

Gotta say I never expected Galaga of all games to get a series. Regardless I am hyped.

Will a compete with the production of the Tetris cinematic universe?

>yes that's an actual goddamn thing now

>>94050399
I blame "That man is playing Galaga" for this.

It better be super 80s themed

>>94050399
Most of me thinks this is a stupid idea, but a small part of me is hoping for awesome space dog fights.

You know what I'll take it. PAC Man has his shows why not some other characters. Although they should use a series with a actual character. I'd watch Dig Dug the animated series

>>94060939
Dig Dug reminds me of Andrew Dobson.

>get used to bullet-hells
>Play Galaga, it's piss

>>94050399
Oh wow! I can't wait for the episode in which a pilot is shifting left to right while shooting a bunch of enemies in a static formation! And the second episode where that happens, the third, the fourth and the fifth!

>Namco still won't make a Tekken cartoon

How hard is it to make a wacky action comedy?

>>94062909
We did get a Tekken OVA, which had Hayabusa, or whatever the dude with the wild hair was called, throwing his child down a ravine.

>>94060623
My first thought as well.

HAS BAMCO LEARNT NOTHING??

>>94053287
i know that series it was good

>>94059871
Ditto I would have love to see one of r-type though.

DAMMIT I HAD THIS SAME IDEA LAST YEAR AND MADE PICTURES AND EVERYTHING.

Will it at least have an 80's aesthetic to it?

Man what a bummer. But I'm obviously also excited.

>>94063558
Well that all depends if they're going to try another "kids show" based cartoon.

>DAMMIT I HAD THIS SAME IDEA LAST YEAR AND MADE PICTURES AND EVERYTHING.

Post the pictures

>>94050399
Is this due to the success of castlevania?

>>94064747
I think it might be but until we have more information about what they're going to do with the series it may be better to approach with a sense of cautious optimism and not expect too much yet.

The Centipede comic has been a great apocalyptic epic, so who knows.

>>94050399
I love the game but...well we'll see, I guess
