With the establishment ofPalworldEntertainment, it’s clear that Sony wants to establish its own monster-catching series, and Aniplex’s presence definitely means that we’re bound to get an animated adaptation soon.
While one can see thePalworldanime adaptation as just Sony’s attempt to buy its off-brand Pokemon series, the game has already diverged from Nintendo’s IP in many ways. These strengths can help it stand out in an anime series if Aniplex doesn’t end up fumbling the entire project.

Pocketpair offers an entirely different fantasy as compared to other monster-catching games, which could lead to a unique plotline. While we’ve seenPokemonand other famous franchises with elaborate and civilized settings,Palworldbrings an element of rawness to it.
More than just crafting and survival, the game fills the map with actual human poachers and bandits and tries to showcase the danger of encountering untamed wild animals armed with weapons. Fans can have an anime where the protagonist goes into a battle with pets, which we’ve never seen before.
