I'm one of the creators for the new anime, Indigo Ignited. The Pilot Dropped August 8th, 2017, and it has been an extremely difficult, but satisfying journey to see this finished.
Indigo Ignited is one the first Indie Comic Books (or manga) to be picked up and accepted by a Japanese animation Studio. I am the original comic book artist, and the other co-creator and writer is David Pinter.
A little bit about the story. Indigo Ignited is a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy anime that follows Kieran, the last of an extinct race, able to manipulate the flow of gravity in order to preserve a broken world at war.
The Pilot Episode follows the story arc of the town of Annalise, ruled by a conniving Indigo hunter from the past; The Alderman.
The Alderman bestows masks upon his townsfolk in order to control their thoughts and emotions, believing this to be the purest form of existence. Captured, Kieran is coerced into submitting his powers to sustain a dark utopia, ruled by a madman.
The Pilot episode is approximately 8:17 in length and stars Nathan Sharp as Kieran, Amanda Lee as Galena, and Sean Chiplock as The Alderman.
A D’ART Shtajio Production, Indigo Ignited is Directed by Henry Thurlow, Art Direction by Arthell Isom, Animation Direction by Asuka Tsubuki, Character Designs by Rejean Dubois, Production Coordination by Reuben Lack, Audio Engineering by Jonah Scott, Musical Composition by David Butler and Storyboards by Yoshiharu Ashino.
You can watch the Official Pilot by visiting the Indigo Ignited Website, YouTube, and Facebook page. Indigo Ignited is based off the original Manga series created by Albuquerque locals, David Pinter and Samuel Dalton. The Pilot will debut in both English and Spanish at 2:00 PM MST and 1:00 PM PST. The Spanish version is dubbed, mixed and released by KORA International.
Together we brought together some extremely talented artist to make something brand new. Watch the short anime and enjoy. There is so much more to come.
