There's been an Ingress manga running in Dengeki G's Comic for a while now, so it could be an adaptation of that.

So will it be about playing Ingress, or the meta-plot of Ingress? I suppose the latter... but it might be a bit of a hot mess trying to adapt. In any case I wouldn't have thought they made nearly enough money to afford making an anime. The gameplay is free, the only thing you can use money on is some inconsequential gear. Except maybe the key lockers, of which you can own a maximum of five.

Is this Ultra+ programming block different from noitaminA? What happens to noitaminA then? Will this block be included in the Amazon deal?

What a misleading name for that new tv block.

You just gave me an amusing thought. What if this ifs Fuji TV's attempt to skirt the Noitamina deal by just remaining the block. Laughing

I emailed in the original announcement in December. Turns out, that is the most recent mail I’ve sent from my personal account which possibly says something about my social life, or lack thereof. Here’s an extra quote I included at the time:

Quote:
As part of that expanded narrative, Niantic will also be debuting an anime series that further fleshes out the world, though there’s no word yet on when it will debut. This kind of transmedia storytelling is something the studio has explored since the game first launched, with a YouTube series and several ebooks, but with Prime they want to go a step further. “I’m a big believer in building up the world across many different media,” says Hanke. “Short of doing a $200 million motion picture, anime is a great way to introduce a world like Ingress, because you can really pull people into a world that goes beyond the everyday.”
