It was only a matter of time before Genshin Impact, one of the most successful live service gacha games, received an anime adaptation. Produced by Ufotable, the renowned studio behind the animation of Demon Slayer, which has set a benchmark for exceptional animation quality, fans are now questioning whether the Genshin Impact anime will surpass its predecessor. In this article, we will delve into the credibility of this claim and provide updates on the release date.
In 2022, HoYoverse collaborated with Ufotable to announce the adaptation of Genshin Impact into an anime series. Ufotable has significant experience in adapting anime series based on video games, including Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, both of which are part of the popular Fate franchise. With their proven track record, fans can rest assured that this adaptation is in capable hands.
Speculation Emerges on Animation Quality
A recent claim surfaced on Twitter via the Anime News Account, t.me/oecuf, suggesting that the animation quality in the Genshin Impact anime will surpass that of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
The tweet stated that the staff working on the anime is highly skilled. However, since the staff list for the Genshin Impact anime has not been revealed, the reliability of this claim remains uncertain. Nevertheless, it has certainly sparked curiosity among fans.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, acclaimed for its breathtaking animation, is beloved by fans not only for its visual prowess but also its exceptional directing, visual presentation, music score, and overall execution of scenes.
Fans believe that the Genshin Impact anime having better animation than Demon Slayer would not be a surprising development, given the promising concept and high anticipation surrounding the project.

As of now, no official statement regarding the release date of the Genshin Impact anime series has been made. Fans are eagerly awaiting news during Genshin Impact’s upcoming anniversary celebration on September 28th. It is hoped that a livestream during the event will shed light on further details about the anime and additional content.
Possible Plot of Genshin Impact Anime
The trailer for the Genshin Impact anime has provided fans with a glimpse into what they can expect. It appears that the series may follow the journey of Aether or Lumine, recounting their adventures in the game’s vast world of Teyvat during the first year.
