We’ve known about Death Stranding’s anime adaptation for a little while now, but this first look at the film is genuinely jaw-dropping. With animation from Japanese outfit ABC Animation Studio, the movie is adopting a very bold, comic book-style look. The pencil-like shading gives it a very different appearance to most modern anime, which tends to adopt more of a glossy look. Crucially, this is a new story set in the Death Stranding universe, and not an adaptation – although familiar characters will return, such as Sam Bridges, as seen in the trailer. Are you up for more of Hideo Kojima’s zany universe?
