However, there’s not much else to go off from.Īccording to Masaru Oyamada, the game series’ producer, the animation was first proposed before they thought of the HD remaster. Hence, we can perhaps get a glimpse of what the anime will look and feel like upon release. All we know is that those who produced the cinematic for the HD remaster will also work on the anime. According to them, Warner Brothers Japan along with Graphinica Inc and Yokohama Animation Lab will produce the series.īased on the release announcement, the title of the anime will be “Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal.” However, there were little-to-no details about the anime as well as a target debut date.

This time, humanity already failed, and that lust underscores the rest of the Legend of Mana. Humanity’s lust for mana always led to the downfall of the Mana Tree in previous games. However, considering the first three games always ended with the Mana Tree’s destruction, this new premise is a welcome change. This may seem like a strange and cruel way to layout the game. Hence, the goal to rebuild and restore the world is more of a revisiting of Fa’diel’s old memories. That is that the world is only part of his imagination. However, there’s a twist to this world that the player very quickly finds out. The player’s goal, then, is to restore the world’s mana instead of simply protecting the Mana Tree, like older games. Hence, the land was struck with war, putting humans, faeries, and other groups looking for leftover mana. In this world, the Mana Tree, the source of all mana and life, had already burned down 900 years ago. This sets the game’s tone and how it isn’t necessarily focused on action, despite it playing a large part. However, despite being an action RPG, the game initially focuses on creating a section of the world. In case you have forgotten, Legend of Mana takes place in the fictional world of Fa’Diel. If the anime adaptation will take heavy inspiration from the original, then there’s no harm in revisiting its story. However, our best clue right now would be the original game’s plot. While waiting for the Legend of Mana adaptation, fans might go on and on speculating what might happen story-wise. Legend of Mana’s Original Premise © Photo by Nintendo
