BABYMETAL animated series in the works

2016-09-29 by Toondude | 33 Comments
Japanese J-pop/heavy metal phenoms Babymetal have officially teamed up with Warner Brothers to create a digital live-action/animated series. The series is currently under development by WB's Blue Ribbon Content Studio, though the now-untitled project is still in ongoing talks with multiple distributions.

The series tells of a story where a magical world filled with heavy-metal music comes under attack by a mysterious force, where the fox-god Kitsune (whom the band "worships") sends Babymetal to help save the day.

The band's manager and creator Key Kobayashi (Kobametal) will also be producing.

This will either be terrible, so bad it's good, or the best thing ever.

It'll be great either way because of all the delicious angry metalhead tears it'll spill.

"...are all of the girls over 18?"
a) they probably will be when it comes out
b) since when has that ever stopped rule 34?

One of them is 18, other two are 17. Does this appease your weird fantasies?

This was all about making money from the start.

The fact that their debut was a fun listen is what made it shocking.

I could imagine Jack Black getting involved in this. Anime would definitely be better though

this will either be so bad it's good or amazing, there are no other options. I agree it should've been an anime though.
