Professor Layton Anime Announced

Sep 30, 2008 22:28



Continuing my non-stop video game-related coverage for today, we head on over to news of an anime movie adaptation of the Professor Layton games. Level5 (the ones making the new Studio Ghibli game) announced this weekend that a theatrical anime project based on the popular DS series has been green-lit. This news comes a year after they said they were going to do a live-action film based on the games as well. The third game of the series will be coming out in Japan in November, while America still only has the first game available. A Professor Layton manga also started running in Japan since earlier this year.

I haven't played "Professor Layton & the Curious Village" yet myself, & I really have no plans to do so. People are always telling me if I like the Ace Attorney games (& I do), then I should enjoy the Prof as well. But I dunno, something about the art style & overall concept just don't intrigue me. Maybe I'll give in overtime.
