After the Arcane anime, and exploring several animes and games, Netlfix is reportedly making an anime based on Dark Souls

After &#8216;Arcane&#8217;, Netflix Set to Bring &#8216;Dark Souls&#8217; Anime to Its Library and Fans Are Divided About It

Netflix is really testing anime and gaming fans while trying to impress them.
The OTT platform is adding variety to its genre, tapping into the fantasy market
by bringing live-action shows and anime. In recent years, Arcane was picked up
for production. They have now moved to yet another franchise that also had a
game in its name. The Arcane anime has received pretty good reviews, but
skepticism is already high about adaptations like One Piece even before release.

Amidst the strike and halting of its other projects, Netflix is rumored to be
making anime based on the ‘Dark Souls’ game. It was created by Hidetaka Miyazaki
and is a role-playing game series, with monsters and morbid themes, known for
its difficulty levels. The game first launched in 2011 with the titular name and
came up with several parts in the following years.

It is often considered to be one of the best games of all time, adding to
Netflix’s pressure of making a perfect anime. When recreating from a source
material, one of the biggest challenges is to impress the existing fan base and
to not stray away from the original source while being creative.

It will be interesting to see the setup of the Medieval-themed game set in the
fantasy world of Lordran. But fans of the game already have mixed reactions to
it.


TWITTERATI REACTS TO NETFLIX’S ANIME ADAPTATION OF DARK SOULS

Netflix has really dipped its hands deep into the anime genre. While some fans
welcome it, others do not appreciate their favorite games and manga being
touched. One fan compared it to the 2017 Castlevania anime picked from the
gaming series. It received amazing reviews, so this one is expected to be either
very good or very bad.

One fan is sure of the platform failing at the anime. But another one replied,
stating how the criticism was not valid because anime like Edgerunner

and Arcane have proved to be successful. But many others are skeptical and
unhappy over the OTT potentially ruining it.

Despite the skepticism, some fans are willing to give Netflix a chance. With the
strike halting actors’ and writers’ work for their cause, the adaption phase
will test fans’ acceptance of the Dark Souls anime.
