Part 3/9:
DeMarco has been appointed Senior Vice President of Anime and Action Series/Long Form at Warner Bros. Animation, signaling the stakes Warner Brothers places on this new venture. His role involves developing series based on the studio's original properties, third-party anime rights, and collaborations with Japanese studios.
A Promising Start with Fina: Pirate Princess
The first project announced under this new initiative is Fina: Pirate Princess, which has garnered positive attention from fans and critics alike. Its trailers suggest quality animation and storytelling that aligns closely with Japanese standards. This is a far cry from earlier Western attempts at anime-inspired content, which often lacked the nuance or production quality of authentic Japanese anime.
