Unknowingly forced to participate in the” Game of the Reaper Neku must partner with Shiki, a teenage player he meets. Neku must fight to survive by completing missions launched at him and defeating creatures called “Noise”. In doing so, he will face the “Reaper Game” along with the truth buried deep in his memory. “The only way to survive is to trust your partner.” Will they survive the “Reaper Game” …? “
The world ends with you: The animation is directed by Kazuya Ichikawa of Domerica and is being produced by Domerica x Shin-EI Animation.Tetsuya Nomura from Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts is also working on the project, and was responsible for the main character designs and orchestration of the game.
In 20018, The World Ends with You: Final Remix was released on the Nintendo Switch, and in our review, we said, “It’s as good as ever in portable mode, but it loses much of its appeal with motion controls.”
