Helldivers 2 - Anime Intro [ Made in Blender ]

What if @ArrowheadGameStudios Helldivers 2 ( #helldivers2 ) was an anime and made in Blender? I spent the past couple of weeks learning and experimenting with different shaders in Blender to achieve that old-school anime look and here's the result! I'm super happy how this turned out and I hope you guys like it!

Thank y'all for the kind words! It means a lot to me.
Just wanted to talk about the missing exo-suit arms. I accidentally disabled the arms in Blender while rendering the final 3D sequence so it came out like that. We can just say it's a prototype work in progress version in Tien Kwan factories. ;) Thanks for pointing it out! Now go manage democracy!

Edit: The Japanese characters are also not accurate as it seems from Google translate. I’m sorry if I made some mistakes in that part. For example the title (スーパーアースアニメ版) translates "Super Earth Anime Version" in Google translate directly which some of you said is wrong and I apologize for that.

I love how it legit looks like a 2000’s mecha cgi anime, and the anime trope of a super happy intro song for a show that’s probably super dark

I love how there's 4 distinct helldivers, really feels like the main crew of an anime.

Also, nice cat.

As a dedicated Helldiver living in Japan, it's super impressive to see such a well-done Intro. This really captures the anime vibe along with many key game elements. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into this. I will definitely share this with my fellow divers!

What else could HellDivers be if not Code Geass? :D
Impressive, wonderful, outstandingly beautiful!
