Jurassic Shadows Project PV

Slow Curve and avex pictures released the Project PV for Jurassic Shadows.

“Tokyo, 2029 – Long believed to have vanished after the asteroid impact that caused their extinction, dinosaurs secretly survived by passing their DNA into humanity through interbreeding. Hidden among ordinary people, they now prey upon humans while living unnoticed within society. Standing against them is a covert order of ninjas who wield Ryugesho, a special pigment infused with ancient memories. By applying this mysterious pigment, they awaken the powers of dinosaurs within themselves and fight back against the predators threatening humanity. As the dinosaurs launch their campaign to wipe out humankind, the ninjas rise to stop them. The battle for the survival of two species begins.”

The Project PV for Jurassic Shadows is on YouTube now.

The Means of Destruction Trailer

There’s a new Kickstarter for an animated pilot for a series called The Means of Destruction.

“The Darkest One, Overlord of All Evil, plots to plunge the world into eternal shadow. Thousands of trolls and goblins are at his command, toiling in his forges and waging his wars…

And they’d like a word with him. Fed up with the 26-hour workdays and biweekly lunch breaks, his underlings have now done the unthinkable:
THEY’VE UNIONIZED.”

In a parody of modern work culture, through the lens of fantasy epics like Lord of the Rings, this 12 minute pilot episode would juxtapose comedy and fantasy in a delightful way. The trailer is available to watch on YouTube now.
