Community: Let’s Make an eSports Anime!
Goboiano.com has a community experiment where they ask anime lovers and gamers to come up with an Esport anime.
The first phase of the experiment,where we discussed the type of game is to be played, is already finished and this is the result:
"So, let’s get started with the recap! Last time you all pitched in, most votes have gone to either a first-person shooter or a MOBA. The suggestions that stand out to me most, though, are mentions of the games Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch. These type of games have similarities to both the first-person shooter and MOBA genres, AND fit perfectly into the anime-format. They are both class-based and objective-based shooters. Following a match is crystal clear for the viewer: the cast of characters picks the class they are proficient in. Each class has unique powers and a unique costume. You’ve got your healer, your tank, your sniper, etcetera. This way, the viewer knows which character is which, even during an intense, quick-paced team fight! Each match has one simple objective a viewer can get behind; it is either a King of the Hill setting, in which a team has to conquer a point and hold it for a set amount of time to win, or it is an Escort game mode, in which an attacking team must escort a big object from point A to B to win and the defending team has to hold them off ‘til the timer reaches its limit. Oh, by the way, you’ve all non-stop been spewing awesome concepts for the previous article, but I have yet to see a title fitting of this game! The working title will be ‘Eclipse Six’. I literally made that up ten seconds ago so we have a word to efficiently address this game within the eSports anime. If you guys like it, it can stay. If not, bring on the suggestions in the comment section!"
The experiment is currently in its second phase where the Main Character's personality is discussed.
