The successful movie adaptation of Stephen King’s IT continues to impact the popular culture on almost all fronts including anime.
If you look below, you can see that artist Mike Anderson’s work is influenced by Japanese anime. Among many of his impressive sketches, there are renderings of what actor Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise The Clown may look like in an anime format.
Anderson recreated the opening sewer scene of the film, in which Pennywise lures a GeorgieDenbrough into a gruesome death. Check out both of those great pieces, below:
This surely needs to be made into an anime film. We would all rush to the theatres to see it. Considering that anime has always been able to do wonders with “dark themes”, they will surely be able to create an extra ordinary version of IT.
This latest artwork makes a case for why there needs to be a full-length IT anime feature. The themes and concepts would synch very well with the ideas and themes that are common in anime format; Pennywise’s psychological attacks on children may be done in a great visual style and grandeur.
You can catch IT in the theaters now. Here is the news on the sequel and check this fan video of Pennywise Battling The Joker.
