After ‘Ghost of Tsushima’, Hideo Kojima Confirms ‘Death Stranding’ Anime Adaptation in the Works

Hideo Kojima, a famous Japanese video game designer, is a legend in the video game community. Having worked on projects like Metal Gear and Death Stranding, he has gained a name for himself as a visionary who can do no wrong. The man is dancing between media, with his games looking like cinematic masterpieces (look at the cherry blossoms in Ghost of Tsushima).

Reportedly, Kojima-san has confirmed that his game, Death Stranding, is going to get an anime and a live-action adaptation, and this being confirmed after the news of Ghost of Tsushima’s anime adaptation has got fans going crazy.

Hideo Kojima is a legend in the video game community and is the visionary behind iconic projects like Metal Gear (Kojima is god! Kojima is god!). His games are cinematic masterpieces and are praised by the audiences for setting new standards in terms of graphics, direction, and storytelling. Death Stranding is an excellent example of this. One feels like they are immersed in a movie while playing the game.

The cast is star-studded, and their performances took the game to the next level. Norman Reedus, who plays Sam, and the devilishly handsome Mads Mikkelsen, who played Cliff (we have a simp in the house), were wonderful in the game, and its use of cutting-edge 3D technology elevated it in terms of presentation. This is how Hideo Kojima operates. He intersects media and creates a unique experience.

This is the reason why fans got excited when Hideo Kojima announced the live-action adaptation and anime adaptation for his game, Death Stranding. Fans understood through this announcement that the adaptation will undoubtedly carry Hideo Kojima’s trademark of intersecting media. The adaptation, which will reportedly expand the Death Stranding universe instead of being a faithful adaptation like The Last of Us (thanks, but no thanks), is great news for fans because they will be getting some new lore instead of a rehashed version of the game.

While the prospect of a live-action Death Stranding is great, we, on the other hand, are much more excited for Death Stranding’s anime adaptation. Anime is a medium where Hideo Kojima won’t have to set limits on his creativity. Anime can blend surreal visuals in a way that live-action fails to do, which is perfect for Death Stranding, which is a story with surreal aesthetics and themes of human survival in a fractured world.

It seems that Hideo Kojima has recognized this as well, which is why he might be interested in making an anime adaptation for the universe. While no details have been revealed about this anime adaptation, we are sure that we can rest easy since Kojima-kantoku (that’s Japanese for ‘Director’, by the way, since he hates being called Kojima-san) is the one at the helm.

Is this the beginning of a new era for media?

Hideo Kojima’s announcement about the anime adaptations for Death Stranding comes at a time when the lines between movies, anime, and games are blurrier than ever, and whether you believe it or not, Hideo Kojima is going to be at the front and center of it all. The convergence between anime, games, and movies presents an opportunity for innovation, and this man is going to make use of it.

Hideo Kojima is currently at the forefront of this convergence, and is helping make the boundaries between games and movies indistinct. Remember how we described the fractured world of Death Stranding earlier in this article? Now imagine it in the form of an anime. Imagine an anime that will make viewers wonder if they are watching a movie or playing an immersive game. This right here is the future of entertainment.

The Death Stranding anime can perhaps integrate a few gaming elements as a nod to its source material and become a sort of experimental series that will push the boundaries of entertainment, and with a man like Hideo Kojima at its helm, the possibilities are endless. What is even more exciting is the fact that such anime and live-action projects are a small step in his ******* dream of creating a form of media that doesn’t exist.

Hideo Kojima confirming a Death Stranding anime is a clue that he is going to double down on his intent to combine animation with gaming. Just imagining how the Death Stranding anime can set a new standard for fellow projects with its visuals and direction is exciting, and it could be a game-changer for the industry.
