Koby Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Square Enix announced an anime adaptation of its The World Ends with You (Subarashiki Kono Sekai) action role-playing game on Friday. More information regarding the anime will be revealed at the Anime Expo Lite event on July 3. Synopsis Neku Sakuraba, a 15 year-old boy with a hobby for music and graffiti, wakes up in what seems to be the Shibuya shopping district of Tokyo, Japan. With no idea why he's there, he opens his hand to realize he is holding a strange black pin. After flipping it with his hand, the thoughts of the people surrounding him began to flow into his head at once. Surprised, Neku discovers he is able to read the minds of others, and assumes it has something to do with the black pin he is holding. A cell phone starts to ring in his pocket, and he can't tell whether it is his or not. A text message appears: "Reach 104. You have 60 minutes. Fail, and face erasure. -The Reapers." After discovering he can't delete the message, a timer of 60 minutes imprints onto his right hand. Neku is in Shibuya to play the "Reapers' Game," which spans a total of 7 days. All Players of the Reapers' Game have a black pin with a skull embedded on it. (Source: Wikipedia) Square Enix published The World Ends with You for Nintendo DS in Japan in July 2007 and in PAL regions in April 2008. The game was released for iOS and Android platforms in August 2012 and June 2014, respectively. An enhanced port based on the mobile version for the Nintendo Switch console titled The World Ends with You: Final Remix was published in October 2018. Shiro Amano drew a two-chapter one-shot manga in Shounen Gangan in 2008. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardGames Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Yeah this is TOTALLY and EXACTLY what I wanted. Look I'm not saying I won't watch it. I most likely will. Assuming it gets an english dub that is. But I was wanting something else entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardGames Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Looks like this is a Funimation title. Not only does this increase the chances of it getting an english dub... It also brings the possibility... of a simuldub. guess i really need a funimation subscription now... Edited July 5, 2020 by CardGames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardGames Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) This has ABSOLUTE NOTHING to do with the anime. But I don't feel like making a new topic. Unless Koby decides differently and does it for me. Regardless.............................. A PIPE DREAM HAS BECOME REALITY AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO REACT TO THIS. HELP.

Kid Ryan Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 I guess the only thing stopping me from jumping into the franchise now is the first game not being on PS4. What's the likelihood of Square Enix porting Final Remix over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
