Mighty No. 9: The Animated Series was announced at Anime Expo 2014 this month with a teaser but not much else. Speaking with Polygon, Digital Frontier’s Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour shared a little more about what we can expect.

Osei-Kuffour told Polygon:

“That being said, there are parts of the Mighty No.9 universe that simply can’t be explored in the game. For instance, what does Beck do outside of his battles? How does he feel about the pressure on him to be the hero? What mistakes has he made as the hero? With this cartoon, we are trying to add to the Mighty No. 9 universe by filling in the parts gamers can’t see in the game.”

Other bits about the show include:

– Won’t follow the game’s plot completely
– Will adapt it to incorporate elements that make it comfortable for an episodic show
– Some of the main cast’s character traits have been “revisited”
– This will allow for more interesting, varied stories
– The “essence” of each character will be close to that of their game counterpart
– The cartoon gives companions such as Beck’s assistant Call their own time to shine
– The robotic girl, who has “no emotion at all,” will constantly and playfully clash with Beck
– Beck feels human emotions and is very excitable
– The cartoon will further explore their relationship in addition to how the pair get along with two other game characters, Dr. White and Dr. Sanda
– Much of the show will focus on Beck learning to manage his emotions and function as a Mighty Number
– Beck doesn’t want to save the world and his “human heart” makes him an anxious combatant and a clumsy fighter
– Action-packed show that hopes to glean laughs from both children and adults
– It bears Inafune’s stamp of approval as well as a ton of wiggle room for players to get to know the characters on a deeper level

Inti Creates was originally planning on including English voices in the North American release of Azure Striker Gunvolt. However, this is no longer in the cards.

The official Azure Striker Gunvolt Twitter account confirms:


Separate from the topic of voice acting, Inti Creates said that Azure Striker Gunvolt won’t have DLC.

Mighty No. 9 was one of Kickstarter’s most successful campaigns having raised nearly $4 million. However, Comcept announced last night that the company is opening a second funding campaign. This will be handled through PayPal.

Funds raised through Kickstarter last year will be used to complete development on the entire game. But with this new crowdfunding opportunity, the team is “looking to add new content to the game that we did not or could not add to the stretch goals during the original funding campaign”.

The first goal, set at $100,000, will add full English voice acting.
