An anime adaptation of Legend of Mana is on the way!

During the Mana series 30th anniversary live stream, Square Enix revealed the TV anime Legend of Mana: The Teardrop Crystal. It will be produced by Warner Bros. Japan and animated by Graphinica in collaboration with Yokohama Animation Lab. A release date has yet to be revealed.

Here is a message from Mana series producer Masaru Oyamada (courtesy of Gematsu):

When the animation project was first pitched to me, the remastering of Legend of Mana was not even in discussion. I initially attended the meeting without deep thoughts, but when Mr. Yawata from Warner Bros. Japan passionately pitched the Legend of Mana animation project (with so much love), I realized I need to created the game as soon as I can. So rumor has it, that’s how the HD remaster project began.

Fans of the Legend of Mana, please be assured. The people involved in the project still have the love for the series just the same as back then.

The official website for the anime has gone live, which you can check out here.
