'My Mom Became A Crater': A First Look At Death Stranding Isolations

Disney+ for a Death Stranding anime is not what I expected, but Hulu makes more sense to me. The adult audience is there. I like that it is a new story and not a retelling of the game. Retellings always feel pointless because you already know the ending. A girl who prefers being alone after losing her mom is a strong starting point, especially in a world where connecting people is the whole point of the main game. I will watch the trailer again before deciding, but I am interested.

Ilya Kuvshinov doing the character designs is the best news here. His work has a soft, quiet look that fits a lonely girl story really well. Ninja Kamui looked great, so the studio can handle action too. My worry is the pacing. Kojima stories can be slow, and anime sometimes struggles with that. Twelve episodes is not a lot of time for five different characters. If they focus on the girl and keep the rest small, it could work very well. If they try to do everything, it will feel rushed and messy.

“My mom became a crater” is a dark first line, and I like it. Short and direct.

Honestly, I am tired of every game getting an adaptation. Most of them are average and forgotten after a month. But Kojima is involved as executive producer, so maybe this one has a better chance. I will give it one episode. If the first one is boring, I am done. I do not have time for slow shows that think they are deep when they are only empty. The old man who connects people in a strange way sounds interesting though. I hope they explain him well and do not keep him as a mystery forever.

People are complaining about Disney, but the documentary connection explains it. Kojima and Disney already worked together, so this is a normal next step. I do not see the problem. The Hulu logo means mature content is allowed, and that is what this story needs. Death Stranding is about grief, death, and isolation. A children’s version would not work at all. I am glad they are telling a new story after Sam finishes the Chiral Network. It leaves room for the world to show what happened next.

Okay but the idea of someone choosing to be alone after everyone around her is gone is very relatable to me. The game talks so much about connecting that I never saw the other side of it. Why would a person want a connection after losing so much? That is a good question and I want to see the answer. If the anime treats her seriously and does not turn her into a cold character who just needs a hug at the end, I will love it. Please do not make it simple.

Not sold yet. The studio made Red Cat Ramen, which is fine, but a comedy short is very different from a heavy story like this. The director has only worked on a few projects too. I understand the excitement about Kojima, but he is only executive producer here. That usually means his name is on the poster and his real involvement is small. I will wait for reviews before I get excited. A teaser with one strong line is easy to make. Keeping that quality for a full season is much harder, and many adaptations fail at exactly that point.

The quote from the director about enhancing spirituality sounds good, but I want to see it in the work. Death Stranding 2 was strange and emotional at the same time, and that is hard to copy. If they only copy the look, with the beach and the ghosts and the odd names, it will feel empty. What made the games work was the quiet moments between all the strange things. A girl walking alone through ruined America could give us those moments. I hope they let the silence stay long enough to matter.

2027 feels far away. I just want to know how many episodes it will have and if it will release weekly or all at once. Weekly would be better for this kind of show because people can talk about each episode. All at once means a lot of spoilers online for two days and then nobody talks about it again. Also, will it have the original English voice cast from the games? That would help a lot. Hearing new voices for this world might be strange at first.
