The Video Games Most In Need Of Getting An Animated Series Adaptation
Jet Set Radio
Jet Set/Grind Radio is one of those deliriously wonderful video games that spawned from the too-good-for-its-time Dreamcast. There’s actually a surprisingly deep and engaging story in this title that pits the common man against a corrupt police system, but the real reason to play this game was to engage in dazzling displays of graffiti as your character acrobats through a bustling city. Everything about Jet Set Radio—the gameplay, the art style, the soundtrack—is a triumph, but it offers such a unique visual style that would be such an easy adaptation into an animated series. Jet Set Radio conjures such a bombastic, beautiful energy and there a few directors in animation more suited to capture that magic than Masaaki Yuasa. Everything that Yuasa touches is animated bliss and films like Mind Game, Lu Over the Wall, and The Night is Short, Walk On Girl are some of the most amazing animated films from the past decade. Yuasa’s work on television is equally enviable and his eclectic style could do so much with Jet Set Radio’s universe. The gravity-defying sequences almost feel tailor-made for Yuasa’s skills. Not only could the character models become fluid, elastic sights that defy nature, but Yuasa could capture that aerosol-quality of the spray paint as he’s a master of mixing mediums.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
