Animation Studio 'studio keel' Produces Animation Part for 'Tower Dungeon' Volume 6 Launch PV

Animation studio studio keel (Headquarters: Suginami-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Manami Ishida; hereinafter 'studio keel') is responsible for the production of the animation part of this PV.

'Tower Dungeon' is the first dark fantasy work by Tsutomu Nihei, creator of 'Knights of Sidonia' and 'BLAME!'. With its unique and grand worldview, the dungeon adventure story woven by charming characters has gained high popularity both domestically and internationally since the start of its serialization.

In this video, the worldview and character appeal of the original work are expressed through the medium of animation. The animation part is directed by Toshiyuki Kono, who has worked on the 'PSYCHO-PASS' series and 'Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex', and is produced to help viewers visualize the world of 'Tower Dungeon' more vividly as they imagine it while reading the comics. While cherishing the charm of the original work, viewers can enjoy the worldview expanded through colors and movement.

studio keel will continue to deliver high-quality videos by sincerely facing the charm of each work and expanding the possibilities of visual expression.
