KONAMI

Why is this company so fucking retarded? They released an anime adaptation of Castlevania III with no new game in sight. I'm so fucking mad. Someone need to buy them out.

yes LoS games were so good

the first one kind of.

That is not anime.

what is it then

Revitilization? Prior to investing in the IP (specially one that has not generated revenue in a while) they launch a “pilot” to see if the interest is still there.

If it does good, expect a game.
If it doesn’t, expect nothing.

It’s not like Konami is even bothering to remain in the vg business anyway. Wish they get bought out already.

Well to be fair it was in the works before Konami went full retard.

>written by a Brit
>animated by westerners

Ed Edd 'n Eddy was animated by underpaid Koreans. Does that make it a... whatever word Koreans use for animation?

A cartoon obviously what else? Western studio means it's just a cartoon.

I love this show. Why they thought to only release 4 episodes is beyond me. Get Wayforward to remake Dracula’s Curse with these designs as hand drawn sprites.

EA

They're awful, one of the worst game companies in existence right now. Don't expect them to do anything worthwhile any time soon with any of their IPs. They just make pachinko machines now.

Art and animation for most old western cartoons were made by asians tho

Why do you people get so wrapped up in an idea? You can look at the fan art free. You can play a million Castlevania clones. You're in love with a fucking marketing gimmick. Remember when you were a kid and you had an imagination? Now, you take out your fucking credit card instead. Idiots. You're the kind of person that buys anything with an Apple logo on it.

I hope this thread doesn't 404 cause I wanna read it when I get back from work

They were going to go the berserk rout and make a trilogy of movies. Instead, there was a decision to cut said movies into an episoded anime so that the prequel on netflix (season 1) is just the first movie broken up into episodes

I'd rather see them go bankrupt and have them sell off all their IPs. Would be interesting to see what competent companies can do with them.

>Why is this company so fucking retarded?

Because they were never an entertainment company to begin with, they are a Yakuza funded recreation company that focuses on gyms, fitness clubs and leisure centres that branched out into product distribution and found a modicum amount of success there.

They can't support making large games and titles without guaranteed monetary recompense, they haemorrhaged talent for many years more or less concluding with Kojima and now they have effectively scaled back to the certainty of making gambling products to rake in easy cash and stay afloat with their once iconic IP's.

Also the West fucking hates them now. Why would they be interested in your money if there is a risk they won't receive it on their terms? They're done with this generation and are probably banking on the next generation of mouth breathers magnetised to phone software like the youths of today's Japan.

see

My favorite anime is RIck&Morty

Someone needs to buy the worthwhile IPs you mean. I wouldn't mind if Nintendo bought at least Castlevania, I'm sure they wouldn't repeat the mistake of CV64 and all the other 3D crap that followed

This meme about them selling IPs being a good thing is just stupid, look at atari and brands like alone in the dark to see what it would really happen

wow yongyea and all the other youtube shills really fucked your mind hard if you actually believe the bullshit you just wrote

autism of the highest order. Kys

I bet you are one of those faggots who sperg out over people calling games JRPGs if they're not made in Japan.

No, this.

>buy them out
lol, do you know how much money they make off of slot machines in the US and gyms in Japan?
