Could A Catherine Anime Be Summoned Sometime?

Listening to the Japanese dub of Catherine: Full Body and reflecting on the original game’s popularity in Japan and the West while fellow hazbeans continued to embrace the hellish heat, heavenly chills, and cartoony craziness of the second season of Hazbin Hotel on Prime Video [3] [4] [42] [43] [45] [46], an idea on how the legacy of the cautionary tale of cheating men ending up dead after dying in their bad dreams popped into my head like a white rose blooming from a broken meter [4]. Due to one of the game’s most impeccable qualities being its animated cutscenes consisting of essences of a drama anime, perhaps the legacy can be expanded into an anime series set before the events of the game that lets a tormented and notably flawed protagonist choose between the titular sex symbol, his diligent girlfriend, and a crossdressing sweetheart (exclusively in the full-bodied port). It worked in Persona 5: The Animation, the anime adaptation of Persona 5 [5] [7] [36], didn’t it? While Club Penguin players continue to waddle around in a new chapter known as “Club Penguin Zero” and Poké players are hyped for the downloadable content for Pokémon Legends: Z-A titled “Mega Dimension” that will be released this December [16] [51] [53], let us discuss how the legacy of Catherine can be expanded even further in the events before the morally grey puzzle game [4] [7].

Which ideal voice would you choose for Catherine, especially if she appears as your ideal lady [4] [9]? Perhaps one of them can be heard from an anime set in Japan before the events of the game she played an enticing but suspenseful role in [7]. But still, plenty of us are still aware of her actions being part of why it can be argued that Vincent Brooks has Stockholm syndrome [63] [64]. [9]

An anime series might as well be set before the events of Catherine and based on the events of Catherine: The Mysterious Tale of Rapunzel as an alternate to a video game that serves as a prequel [8]. Or better yet, there can be a chapter of Catherine’s antiheroic duties to rid the world of unfaithful men set in another location besides the fictional Neo-Brooklyn in North America [4] [7] [12], such as a certain city in Japan since most anime is set in the Land of the Rising Sun, which is also the home of Atlus. Furthermore, Catherine, the titular vixen, can seduce a new male character residing in his apartment in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, or Sapporo. You can thank my admiration for the romantasy anime film titled “Kimi no Na wa”, also known as “Your Name”, and the fact that Persona 5, the game Joker came from, to be a special guest in the Babel and Colosseum modes in Catherine: Full Body [4], is set in Tokyo for such an idea [37] [65]. But of course, the affair would be as sinister and questionable as her relationship with Vincent in Catherine and Catherine: Full Body [4] [63] [64]. In order for another prequel set before the events of one of those games that gets more praise for the plot than the gameplay [7], I think a Stray Sheep in Japan that serves as an Izakaya, which is a Japanese bar [28], ought to be delightfully established as one of the prime settings.

It would be amazing to see an official Japanese version of the Stray Sheep logo in association with an Izakaya incarnation of the bar in Neo-Brooklyn where you may meet Vincent at [13] [28] [33] [34]. And of course, there ought to be a Japanese equivalent of Kappa Heaven as well, considering how sushi originated from Japan [4]. [52]

Look at me! I’m a drunk doofus! [13]

Of course, the location, based on a city or town in Japan, might as well be fictional, much like Itomori, the hometown where Mitsuha Miyamizu resides in, from Your Name [30] [65]. [31]

How can the Catherine lore be expanded in a chapter set somewhere in Japan? Perhaps an episode set in the Underworld can focus on Catherine’s relationships with other succubi [4]. You know, like the ones who appear as part of Vincent’s harem in the True Catherine ending [10]. Surely, a new protagonist living in Japan could not be a replica of Vincent or Freddie McGoohan as he could have a teenage niece or nephew who could worry about him at the high school they attend [4] [11], as clichéd and uninspired as that setting would be [2] [40]. Wait a minute! Could a male teacher, janitor, or 18-year-old student at said school be one of the sheep in the nightmares who, unfortunately, die? That stray part of the herd could be familiar with Catherine in another form based on his image of the “ideal” woman, much like how she appears to some of Vincent’s friends in different designs in Catherine: The Novel [9]. There might as well be some members of a religious movement who believe in the “angels” that are actually the race of aliens revealed in the Rin route in Catherine: Full Body for some extra consistency [4]. Even though some Catherine crusaders may prefer an adaptation of Catherine: The Mysterious Tale of Rapunzel that can flesh out McGoohan’s crisis even further [8] [11] [58], another sample of the titular beauty’s promiscuous antics might as well be set in Japan as proof that the curse does not exclusively apply to adulterous men in the West [4].

Catherine may act like the gal who may never give her man up, never let him down and never run around and desert him, but we all know that she will never make Vincent cry, never say “Goodbye” and never tell a lie and hurt him once the player witnesses the Good or True Catherine ending in the game and the end of the novel based on its events [1] [4] [9] [10]. But still, she would be as sinister as always in a previous chapter [8] [63] [64]. [15]

As far-fetched as this sounds, I am up for Thomas Mutton reprising his role as a twist villain [4], as well as the boss of the Izakaya version of the Stray Sheep in Japan [13] [28] [52], in the form of a woman due to how there was an error in the Venus Mode Art Bookthat lists him as female, but interestingly enough, his true left eye consists of the female symbol [14] [15], so making him appear in an anime or manga set before the events of Catherine as a woman could result in him being genderfluid as a god in association with shape-shifting abilities. But still, screw the art book for deadnaming and disrespecting Erica Anderson [15]! [15]

As previously mentioned, one of the most memorable aspects of Catherine and its remake is the cutscenes that will make players feel like they are watching a drama anime [2]. Can you imagine the blonde bombshell in a lively interpretation of Shinjuku like the one in Your Name [65]? The interpretation ought to be as excellently animated as the episodes of Persona 5: The Animation [22] [23] [24] [25] [26], especially during the scenes of Catherine manipulating either a new target at the Izakaya version of the Stray Sheep and his apartment, where his girlfriend might catch him cheating, or where the tension of Freddie’s perspective erupts during the events of Catherine: The Mysterious Tale of Rapunzel [4] [8] [11] [28]. Considering how haunting the nightmares in the game and its enhanced port are, the vibes of the guilty sheep climbing towers of blocks for their lives would be gritty in contrast to the mostly idyllic and child-like innocence of the Animal Crossing film known as “Gekijōban Dōbutsu no Mori” that was only released in Japan [5] [56] [57]. The animation in an anime based on Catherine: The Mysterious Tale of Rapunzel or set in another chapter ought to be compelling with the usual authentic flair aimed at an older audience [8] [58], but if the budget for that is better off being used for an animated series promoting Persona 6 [50], then the chapter can always be printed on the monochrome pages of a convincing number of volumes of a manga [54] [55].

Seeing Catherine appear differently to another one of her targets in an anime or manga presenting the Woman’s Wrath in another nation would be pretty cool [9]. [9]

Can you imagine a scene of the sex symbol in her true succubus form reflecting on all the men she has targeted long before this ending in an expansion of this intriguing incarnation of Hell that is gritty with grim shades of purple and other demonic essences that also ought to apply to the Envy Ring at some point in the third season of Helluva Boss [4] [10] [27]? And Blitzo, ARE YOU F***ING FILMING THESE TWO RIGHT NOW [35]?! [10]

Considering how Vincent uses a flip phone in an old school manner in the game and its enhanced port [4] [7], there ought not to be a single smartphone in sight in a chapter set before its events [6], compared to the modernised uses of smartphones in Your Name [30]. Moreover, I think the new protagonist who resides somewhere in Japan ought to use an ocean blue flip phone in contrast to Vincent’s newer phone in Catherine: Full Body, much like how the pinkish red and blue roses determine which player won in the newer Colosseum mode [4]. [30]

I am not firmly stating that an anime or manga series set before the events of Catherine or Catherine: Full Body [4] [7], as an adaptation of Catherine: The Mysterious Tale of Rapunzel [8] [58], or in a new chapter expanding on the lore and so on in Japan ought to occur. Alternatively, there can be an anime or manga based on a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Princess Peach: Showtime or a direct sequel to the game, especially if it happens to feature an engaging multiplayer mode with Princess Daisy or Peachette as Player 2 [59] [60] [61] [62], or perhaps a short but sweet anime or hilarious manga based on the forthcoming Switch 2 edition of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the highly anticipated Version 3.0 update that will begin a new chapter of the New Horizons era of the Animal Crossing franchise this January [29] [41] [56] [57]. I do not doubt that there will definitely be an anime based on the tenth generation of the Pokémon franchise in the late 2020s though [38]. I still suspect that the legacy of Catherine, an unconventional romantic horror, for the PlayStation 6 might as well be expanded on in an interactive prequel based on Catherine: The Mysterious Tale of Rapunzel [8] [48]. The rise of transphobia and misogyny [18] [19] [20] [21] [39], as well as the ongoing dehumanisation of autism [49], in the 2020s is repugnant and aggravating, but we can still strive for fairness and equal rights, especially for neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ players, no matter how bigoted the odds get [17]. Stay golden [4]!

As infatuated as I am at Alastor's origin consisting of historical Lackadaisy vibes [32], as well as some dark explanation on how the radio demon ended up being powerful in Hell, in the second season of Hazbin Hotel [3], I would be interested to see where the legacy of Catherine can progress in the future, even if it would be another remake with perhaps a fourth love interest for the Brookster [58]. [15]

In the meantime, I am also thrilled to listen to a love-hate song based on the romantic rivalry between Sir Pentious and Cherri Bomb before one of them got redeemed [46], yet rather terrified at a deal made between Alastor and Vox [42] [44], who was originally referred to as “Vincent”, in the second season of Hazbin Hotel [47]. Stay sinful! [47]

What If Crash Bandicoot Can Have His Own Anime Series?

A week ago, we discussed how an anime series starring no other than Crash Bandicoot could bring his cutesier design for marketing in Japan into a modernised but nostalgically faithful spotlight, as unlikely as that sounds since it can be argued that Crash is better off in his own CGI television series outside of the Skylanders lore instead [5] [100] [101]. And of course, being a Western player, I hold no bias against the original green-eyed goofball [79], yet his “cool dude in the mid-2000s” design from Crash of the Titans might have been considered even more unappealing to many players in Japan [1] [21] [64] [78]. Since I strongly believe that a new anime series focused on new adventures for the Japanese version of him can especially appeal to women in their twenties [21] [100] [101], let us expand on how such an idea can be executed wonderfully (and not be as utterly disappointing as the cool superhero tune from trying on a zap suit or zap helmet in Animal Crossing: City Folk being completely absent in Animal Crossing: New Horizons [44] [53] [54]) aside from how nervous some of us are about the rumoured North American equivalent of TikTok that is internally referred to as “M2” and is set to be launched this September, thus possibly replacing TikTok entirely in the U.S. by March 2026 [30] [63] [100] [101].

Too bad Jak and Daxter never got their own anime series due to Jak II’s poor sales in Japan [24], but at least they once starred in two manga adaptions; one that ran from February 2002 to February 2003 and the other based on the events of Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontiers that was released in 2009 [37] [60]. [10]

It is honestly quite odd how the second official Korean dub of SpongeBob SquarePants is now airing on Cartoon Network in South Korea to many Western animation admirers if you think about it [22] [32] [76], but that is ultimately A-okay. To each their own. Furthermore, there was nothing wrong with Crash Bandicoot looking cuter for Japanese players back then and there would be nothing wrong with that in an anime or fourth manga series starring him in the near future [21] [23] [73] [78] [100] [101]. [12]

As previously stated, the art style in an anime centred on Crash’s legacy ought to be striking with the adorableness of his admirable Japanese design in the spotlight, as well as Coco with her brown eyes rather than her green ones [21] [100] [101]. This would result in vibrant interpretations of the Wumpa Islands [13]. Aside from remarkably done backgrounds, the characters’ movements ought to be about as lively and expressive as the animation in Moxxie’s hallucination in “Truth Seekers”, the sixth episode of the first season of Helluva Boss [49], but by anime standards, of course. Moreover, I would not be surprised if a Crash Bandicoot anime were to be produced by the same studio that animated Castlevania: Nocturneand Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft [96] [97]. Those animated adaptions can technically be referred to as “Western anime”. But aside from the efforts to make the animation outstanding, whether a Crash Bandicoot anime will be produced in Japan or North America [100] [101], it is vital that the working conditions in the animation department can be so much better, compared to the horrific psychological impacts of a hobby feeling more like a time of slavery [19] [72] [102]. But aside from that virtue, animation is still not immune to critiques as you may recall reacting to a certain infamous McDonald’s advert that aired in Pakistan back in 2004 [52].

As previously stated, a fourth manga for Crash can always occur if the budget for an anime cannot be hit…like that darn box he must have missed along the way [79] [100] [101]. Too bad the third volume of Crash Bandicoot: Dance! Then Jump! Na Daibōken was cancelled during its development [9]. [9]

Seeing Crash’s iconic dance return in an anime would be amazing [79]! Coco can join in too as she did it in the N-Sane Trilogy! [9]

As much as I believe that Stolas, the former prince of the Ars Goetia can build a new image for himself in the lowest class of Hell in the third season of Helluva Boss [57] [94] [95], I believe a rather short but effective anime series or a modern manga can provide some new character exploration that has not been in the Crash Bandicoot games before [100] [101]. Chances are that Crash will have a more childlike and less mischievous personality to go with his cuter design [23] [78], but he still ought to show some bravery like a hero would when it comes to foiling Dr. Cortex’s plan [79]. As previously mentioned, there ought to be some focus on Tawna’s relationship with Pinstripe Potoroo that is likely to lead to a breakup due to Potoroo’s antagonistic nature [100] [101]. There can also be some backstory for Catbat, the franchise’s first non-binary character [8]. Surely, the elements of character exploration in a Crash Bandicoot anime can be considered better and more convincing than the controversial portrayals of Stitch and Angel in certain moments in Stitch!, the anime series that takes place years after the original Lilo & Stitch saga [4] [43] [62]. But of course, save enough room for humour that might as well be like the comedy in Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Deserted Island Diary [61].

I would not be surprised if Aku Aku has been a fan of manga behind the scenes [9]. He might as well break the fourth wall in a new Crash Bandicoot anime or manga like how he did in the Japanese version of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back [21] [73] [78], but in a wittier way like Deadpool would. Trust me, I know from experience [83] [89]. [9]

Spyro may have faded into obscurity in Japan after the overall reception of the Japanese version of Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! [25], but if he were to make a surprise guest appearance in a Crash Bandicoot anime, he might as well have those cute Pac-Man eyes to go with his classic look from the original Spyro trilogy [25] [67] [100] [101]. The collaboration ought to be portrayed sparingly though as some of us have been concerned about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds being almost as reliant on crossovers as Fortnite: Battle Royale and Minecraft these days [2] [26] [28] [33] [38] [34] [47]. [67]

 
What else can help a Crash Bandicoot anime excel? As unlikely as this sounds, I think a new anime series can make up for some greatly missed opportunities that could have been hit during the developments of cancelled games, such as Crush Bandicoot, resulting in the official debut of Crush, a far more sinister equivalent of Crash and Cortex Chaos, also known as “The All-New Cortex Show”, thus letting us see Dr. Cortex try and prove a bunch fellow scientists wrong [35]. As previously mentioned, there ought to be some enlightening humour that might as well use some occasional mild profanity for the sake of that classic manga and edgy new beginnings charm, but only in the original Japanese dub [11] [68] [100] [101]. Does that sound familiar, Sonic the Hedgehog [65]? Lastly, there ought to be a soundtrack that might end up being a little forgettable but ultimately impactful from the opening theme song to the song that plays during the credits, especially in Japanese and English. Surely, the scrapped animated introduction for the first game would not appeal to every PlayStation player [20], but I bet there can be a cheery Japanese theme song for the anime’s intro that can be about as promising as the Japanese openings for Stitch! and Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z [27] [29].

Oh, who am I kidding?! The original Japanese theme song for the first opening of Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z is awesome [27]! As for musical numbers in Western media, can you imagine Talking Hank singing about the awesomeness of the 1990s and Talking Becca singing about how groovy the 1970s were in an updated adaptation of “Tom After Tom” [31] [69] [70] [71]? [27]

Why not let Cortex sing an official theme song for a Crash Bandicoot anime for our amusement? Too bad it wouldn’t work for Dr. Nefarious [66]… [9]

 
It is more likely that Sonic the Hedgehog will dash through a new anime adaption as he was referenced in an episode of Uncle From Another World [36], but we can always suspect that Crash Bandicoot’s Japanese counterpart will return in a fourth manga series [9] [10] [11]. I am not saying that an anime or modern manga starring Naughty Dog’s original PlayStation star should happen [100] [101], but more importantly, we must vow to ensure that fan communities and game development studios will be safer places, especially after the horrific reports of harassment at Activision Blizzard and toxicity that crossed some lines in certain fanbases and that proactivity can still bloom like a field of flowers [42] [81] [82] [103], even after unfortunate layoffs [6], a burnout [74], the loss of a loved one, a fear-inducing political mishap or a sudden yearning for the simpler times back [3] [50] [51] [75] [77]. As we continue to be kind, we can still count on our coping mechanisms as the English translation of Deadpool: Samurai, Volume 3 will be on book shop shelves this Autumn [40] [41] [86]. Keep following the passions that remind you of the person you are [39] [58], even when it feels like being part of a parade in Disneyland on a terribly rainy day [18].

Of course, I am not saying that an anime series or modern manga centred on the Japanese version of Crash Bandicoot must definitely be made as it is far more likely that Vox, Velvette and Valentino from Hazbin Hotel will star in their own spin-off at some point after the series’ conclusion [7] [48]. We can always hope to see most of those villagers who only appeared in Dōbutsu no Mori e+ return in either a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Animal Crossing: New Horizons or a direct sequel to it exclusively on the Switch 2 [84] [85] [90] [91] [92] [93], read an Astro Bot manga [98] [99], watch a considerably more effective series starring Sonic the Hedgehog or perhaps see Sydney Sweeney as a new Skipper in a direct sequel to Barbie: The Movie [16] [45] [59] [87] [88]. I am personally hoping to watch a new episode of Helluva Boss that could be inspired by those film noirs from the 1940s and 1950s [58] [80] [94] [95], possibly introduce a new and accurately portrayed autistic character or feature a deathcore or death metal musical number - Aggretsuko style [55]. [10]

And of course, we ought to be aware of the underrepresented in society as the first-ever Barbie doll with type 1 diabetes was revealed a few days ago [14] [15] [17]. As always, I dearly thank those who make me feel safe and accepted on social media and in real life [57]. Stay tuned for more of yours truly soon [56]! And one more thing, Crash deserves to celebrate his Nerdy 30 in 2026 like how Deadpool celebrated his back in 2021 [46] [100] [101]. [12]
