Production

The anime was announced in June 2021 by Square Enix during a 30th anniversary livestream for the Mana video game series. The anime is animated by Yokohama Animation Laboratory and Graphinica, with Warner Bros. Japan producing the series.[2] The project began after a Warner Bros. employee approached Masaru Oyamada, the producer of the Mana video games, and delivered a "passionate" pitch for a Legend of Mana adaptation.[3] This in turn was what led to the development of a remaster of the Legend of Mana video game.[4] The series is written and directed by Masato Jinbo, with character designs handled by Taro Ikegami based on the original designs by HACCAN, and music composed by Yoko Shimomura.[1] The series will premiere in 2022.[5]
