It appears that the game Lollipop Chainsaw is set to be transformed into an anime, yet this decision seems to have left some fans feeling less than thrilled. Historically, transforming video games into other mediums such as anime or live-action movies/series can spark debate upon announcement due to a multitude of poor adaptations in the past. However, it’s worth noting that there have been successful adaptations too, though these tend to be overshadowed by the negative experiences.
Regardless, the game titled “Lollipop Chainsaw,” jointly created by the acclaimed game director Suda51 and filmmaker James Gunn, has garnered much praise. Yet, due to the remastered version’s mixed reception upon its release last year, some fans are hesitant about the upcoming anime adaptation.

The upcoming anime has been officially announced through the social media platforms of Dragami Games, who are responsible for the remastering project. This initiative is a collaboration between Dragami and Nada Holdings Corp., and it encompasses the creation of a completely new game as well.
In this collaboration, neither Suda51 nor James Gunn are specifically named as part of the animation team, but it’s confirmed that some crucial team members are on board. Interestingly, they were not associated with the remaster project initially billed as a remake. It’s plausible that concepts intended for the remaster could be incorporated in this new game, and potentially the upcoming anime as well. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet about when this game will launch or which studios will handle the anime production. Further details are expected to surface soon.
Fans Divided Over the Anime Adaptation
- Lollipop Chaisawn anime announced.
- Suda51 and James Gunn apparently not involved in this project.
- Fans are divided over the announcement.
It’s no surprise that opinions were split among fans regarding the announcement. While some are enthusiastic about the potential for an anime adaptation, citing the unique aspects of Lollipop Chainsaw, others remain doubtful. What has stirred more controversy is a statement in the announcement that the development would prioritize staying faithful to the original work’s tone and spirit, without overly restricting creativity in the name of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). This detail was not mentioned on official social media posts.
This move from companies could be interpreted not only as a commitment to staying true to the original story, given that fans often dislike changes in adaptations, but also as a stance supporting those advocating for less politically progressive or “anti-woke” content. Consequently, this news has sparked debate among fans based on their political views and allegiances. One fan even labeled it as a regrettable decision.
It’s possible that this move was deliberate, given the intense debate among fans about this specific scene, which overshadows discussions on the series as a whole. Moreover, since Lollipop Chainsaw isn’t typically associated with controversial content and neither company is from the US, many are puzzled about why DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) was mentioned in the announcement.
You can now buy the game “RePOP of Lollipop Chainsaw” on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows (available via Steam and DLSite).
