After having been announced last year and teased for a 2021 release, Square Enix's The World Ends With You's anime adaptation has locked in its initial air date. A new trailer, which features the show's opening, reveals that The World Ends With You: The Animation will premiere on April 9th in Japan, with a special broadcast airing a week before in order to generate hype leading up to the premiere. For Western fans, Funimation will be officially hosting the anime and providing subtitles on its platform.

Funimation?
Just subtitles?

Two things that's just triggering to someone I just know.
Just have to wait for fan subs if that still a thing.

I never got very far in the game since I'm left-handed and it was basically unplayable, this looks pretty cool though! I'm definitely digging the music and always thought this game's style was neat

I tried getting into the game twice on DS, and I really want to like it... But it's confusing, it takes FOREVER to get into any actual gameplay, (typical Squeenix fashion), and it was just kinda boring to read through. Maybe I should give it another chance with the Switch version, but I don't have high hopes.

I'm left handed, o-o I beat it pretty well.

Ah good, they're keeping it still very faithful to the in-game art/character designs. Better effort than most companies who can't fuckin' help but make every anime the same fucking character designs as their other animes rather than make diff art styles..
