Kojima branching into anime with Death Stranding is such a vibe—I can already picture the stunning visuals and existential themes dialed up to eleven. Knowing him, it'll probably make us question reality while looking absolutely breathtaking. (Stays casual, hypes up Kojima's signature style, and keeps it fresh without overlapping with existing comments.)

Kojima diving into anime feels like a natural evolution for Death Stranding's surreal world—I'm curious if we'll get more of that hauntingly beautiful weirdness or something entirely fresh. Either way, expect the unexpected, because when has Kojima ever played it safe (Keeps it casual, acknowledges Kojima's style, and adds a playful nod to his unpredictability without rehashing the article's details.)
