VR’s use in entertainment has been restricted to games, but it is about to change.

Bandai Namco Pictures and HTC are partnering to create virtual reality anime! The sentence itself seems lovely, doesn’t it? Who doesn’t want a real-life anime experience?

These VR anime will be created for Viveport, HTC’s VR applications store. New services will be available on Viveport so that every type of player can enjoy immersive animations. Both companies will focus on distributing resources between each other and then producing new animated content.

Bandai Namco has been responsible for creating several original anime like Aikatsu!, Battle Spirits, Tiger & Bunny, and others. Recently, Bandai Namco also produced Gintama: The Final movie.

Ozaki Masayuki, the president of Bandai Namco Pictures, has also expressed his faith in producing a different genre of anime altogether where immersive experience will be the key. This new experience will help the player transcend physical limitations “as if they were diving directly into the world of our creations from anywhere in the world.
