Cute Venom x Anime Collaboration Art Drops Just in Time for the Movie Release

Key Takeaways

  • Venom movie delayed in Japan until November 1st, 2024.
  • Brave Bang Bravern! and The Birth of Kitaro collaborate to boost movie interest.
  • Ongoing collaboration includes special video teaser at Japanese theaters.

As a hardcore anime enthusiast who has been following the Venom franchise for years, I must say this collaboration between Venom: The Last Dance and Brave Bang Bravern! and The Birth of Kitaro is nothing short of brilliant. It’s like two worlds colliding, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

The most recent installment of the Venom series, titled Venom: The Last Dance, has just debuted in cinemas across numerous countries over the past week, but moviegoers in Japan will have to wait an additional week until November 1st, 2024. This delay provides Japan with one more week to create buzz for the film before its release. Interestingly, a few popular anime franchises are collaborating to help generate excitement for the movie during this interval.

Over the last week, both shows – “Brave Bang Bravern!” and “The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe” – have shared unique collaborations on their old Twitter-like platforms. Although they offer distinct content, they are equally charming and entertaining. Since “Venom” isn’t the most well-known superhero franchise in Japan, these promotional efforts will be beneficial for boosting its popularity in that market.

Two Non-Human Partners, Saving the World

The connection between “Venom: The Last Dance” and “The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe” has been ongoing, with their latest interaction not being a unique event. Previously, they intertwined at the end of September when a joint video was posted on both movies’ social media accounts, teasing a special video that would be played before “Venom: The Last Dance” in Japanese cinemas.

Title of the upcoming short video: “The Wicked Companion Autumn Festival 2024

Here’s a friendly heads-up for our upcoming video: One week prior to the premiere of “Venom: The Last Dance” in Japan, an adorable artwork was shared on the official X page of “The Birth of Kitaro”. This artwork, created by Tōko Yatabe, who designs characters for “The Birth of Kitaro”, depicts Eddie and Brock alongside some characters from the anime. In Japanese, the post reads: “Here’s a sneak peek of Venom: The Last Dance! This illustration was drawn by Tōko Yatabe, our character designer. Enjoy!

I must admit, I wouldn’t have expected a collaboration between “Venom” and “The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe”. When I first heard the news, it took me by surprise. However, upon learning their catchphrase, “Our partner is not human!”, I was left speechless. This fall, you’ll witness two unique tales unfold as these films present unlikely duos from different worlds joining forces to save mankind. These stories will showcase friendships built on trust and dependence, so get ready for an exciting season with “Venom: The Last Dance” and “The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe”.

When Yatabe breaks down the collaboration in such a manner, it becomes clearer why seemingly disparate tales can harmoniously blend. As of now, we are still waiting to hear if “The Evilest Partner Autumn Festival 2024” will be officially translated into English.

Venom x Brave Bang Bravern!

These Characters Understand One Another

Last week, it wasn’t just one Venom collaboration that was unveiled; another exciting collaboration between Venom: The Last Dance and the anime Brave Bang Bravern! was also disclosed on the 23rd. Venom shared a special video featuring the anime character Isami Ao being interrogated about the upcoming film, while Brave Bang Bravern! posted a poster depicting Isami, Lewis Smith, Lulu, and Bravern enjoying Venom in the cinema together.

In an unusual alliance, Bravern! and Venom share similar themes. Bravern! is an anime revolving around a man teaming up with an enormous robot, while Venom follows the story of Eddie and Venom who are compelled to work together despite their differences. It’s not surprising that these characters would empathize with each other’s predicaments, given their unique circumstances. Both shows cater to adult audiences rather than children, as seen in Bravern! and the Venom franchise.

Catch Venom: The Last Dance in theaters now.
