Our take on Anime Studio Story
The bounce point arrives during production planning: players must choose a station, setting, and themes, while also developing staff and characters. Anyone looking for a standalone character creator may hit the wall when show planning and studio management become part of the same progression.
What is Anime Studio Story?
Anime Studio Story puts players in charge of an anime production studio.
Staff can be hired and trained through subcontracting work before producing shows that earn money. For each production, choose a broadcast station, setting, and one or more themes; some combinations can increase popularity. Create a main character by combining different heads and bodies. Characters' personalities change depending on the show and may affect merchandising offers.
Staff job levels reveal new settings, while their training and jobs can lead to new themes. The studio can be equipped with facilities such as a library, motion capture room, and theater. Characters who reach level 5 and rank highly in surveys can have higher market value. Shows are ranked in categories including Dateability and Popular with Kids.
