Just a week ago, we learned that the investment firm Nada Holdings had provided funding to Dragami Games for the transformation of their smash-hit comedy-fanservice slasher, Lollipop Chainsaw, into a full-fledged multimedia franchise. Given Nada Holdings' portfolio filled with anime series, we speculated that the adventures of zombie slayer Juliette Starling might also take an animated direction. At the same time, we dared hope that a new game wouldn't be left out of the equation.
Our speculations and hopes have now been confirmed: yes, not only is a new Lollipop Chainsaw game in the works, but an anime adaptation is also on the horizon. It seems the process has just begun, so we shouldn't expect anything substantial in the immediate future. However, the creators have made one thing clear: they promised to stay as far away as possible from anything that could hinder the preservation and amplification of the game's signature dark humor and fanservice tone. This is especially important considering the game's recent resurgence, thanks to the remastered version, Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP.
The Lollipop Chainsaw franchise has always been known for its unique blend of comedy, action, and fanservice. The game follows the story of Juliette Starling, a high school cheerleader who also happens to be a skilled zombie slayer. With her trusty chainsaw in hand, Juliette takes on hordes of the undead, all while delivering witty one-liners and comedic quips. The game has garnered a cult following, thanks to its distinct style and irreverent humor.
With the announcement of the franchise's expansion into other media, fans are eagerly anticipating more of Juliette's zombie-slaying escapades. The anime adaptation, in particular, has piqued the interest of many. Given the game's anime-inspired art style and over-the-top narrative, it seems like a natural fit for an animated series.
In addition, the promise of a new game has fans excited about the potential for new storylines, characters, and gameplay mechanics. The creators' pledge to maintain the game's original tone is also a promising sign, as it suggests that they understand and respect what fans love about the franchise.
While we wait for more details about these exciting developments, we can only speculate about what the future holds for the Lollipop Chainsaw franchise. Regardless, it's clear that Juliette Starling's zombie-slaying adventures are far from over.
