2. Setting the Scene: A World Nine Years After 2013
Nine years after 2013, the world has changed drastically. The face of the planet is almost unrecognizable.
Gone are the bustling cities covered in the modern technology of the past. In their stead are ruins, crumbling buildings that speak to a legacy of what once was. Here and there, small portions of society remain, living in communities outside of the remains of traditional civilization.
Living within these communities is a very different way of life. It is a mixed world of ancient tradition meeting post-apocalyptic necessity.
Many inhabitants are resourceful and creative, learning to survive on what they can find or build. Some hunt, fish, and collect herbs in the wilds. Others gather materials to build shelter; harvesting wood, stone and metal to piece together their homes.
- Escalating tensions between warring nations.
- Restrictive immigration policies.
- Decaying infrastructure.
- Environmental changes.
The events of the past nine years have shaped the tumultuous world to come. From rising global temperatures to diseases running rampant, few places remain unchanged. In the face of these developments, the world has been pushed to its limits, with the population changing to adapt in any way possible.
3. The Devil Goes Corporate: Adaptations of the Anime
The rise of the popular anime genre in recent years has ushered in interesting adaptations for some of its biggest staples. Many anime shows have been adapted into live-action versions either for film, tv shows, video games, music albums and more. While some, such as the Ghost in the Shell live-action movie, proved to be a tense affair, others managed to turn out surprisingly well.
Here are some of the ways in which the devil has gone corporate with these adaptations:
- Video games – Dragon Ball FighterZ, and the Japanese-exclusive game Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot are just some of the licensed games derived from the ever popular Dragon Ball. Games such as these feature exact recreations of scenes from the show, making it even closer to the anime.
- Music albums – Music inspired by anime has made its way in the mainstream and Evangelion is one such example. While the popular show is mainly known for its psychological hurtles, its soundtrack was well-received by fans and resulted in a soundtrack-inspired album.
- Stage shows – The success of popular shows like One Punch Man has spawned stage shows, typically in Japan, which follow the same story and have the same characters that fans have grown to love.
