Alongside Warner Bros. Japan, Graphinica and Yokohama
Animation Lab will be producing the Legend of Mana anime
adaptation. While footage of the anime has yet to be shown,
the two studios collaborated on the opening cinematic for
the recently released Legend of Mana remaster.

The Legend of Mana producer Masaru Oyamada had a bit to say
(via Anime News Network) about the new anime project:

"When the animation project was first pitched to me,
the remastering of Legend of Mana was not even in
discussion. I initially attended the meeting
without deep thoughts, but when Mr. Yawata from
Warner Bros. Japan passionately pitched the Legend
of Mana animation project (with so much love),
I realized I need to created [sic] the game as soon
as I can. So rumor has it, that's how the HD
remaster project began. Fans of the Legend of Mana,
please be assured. The people involved in the
project still have the love for the series just the
same as back then."

Legend of Mana is an action RPG developed by Square Soft (now
Square Enix) and released in 1999. It is the fourth entry in
the Mana series following 1991's Final Fantasy Adventure,
1993's Secret of Mana, and 1995's Trials of Mana.

As mentioned above, Legend of Mana recently received an HD
remaster and is available now for PlayStation 4, Nintendo
Switch, and PC.
