Overview

Background

In the spring of 2023, game maker Capcom released ``Resident Evil 4’’.

Our goal is to make this work a hot topic among game fans, and new users.

Actually, Resident Evil 4 is a game software released in 2005.The game software Capcom released in the spring of 2023 is a revival version of Resident Evil 4 that has been revived using the latest technology.We thought that a simple release announcement would not make fans interested in the revival version.

Therefore, we focused on the fact that Resident Evil 4, which was released in 2005, has been called a "masterpiece" by fans. We wanted to convey with an impact that the latest work, Resident Evil 4, is as much a "masterpiece" as the original work.

Therefore, we collaborated with the anime series "World Masterpiece Theater", which everyone associates with "masterpieces" in Japan. We created a parody anime of "Masterpiece Theater."

Execution

We collaborated with Nippon Animation, the animation studio that produces the animated work "World Masterpiece Theater," which is loved by many people in Japan for about 50 years.

We have faithfully recreated the character design reminiscent of famous characters of yesteryear, such as the Dog of Flanders, and the worldview of the famous theater that everyone knows.

Our work was created with a quality that stands out from many other anime commercials, with a thorough attention to detail, such as unique colors and contour drawings that could only be achieved by hand-drawing at the time.
