Adi Shankar is famous for making adaptations of video games into animated series with great success for Netflix. Castlevania has been a tremendous success among fans and Devil May Cry is closely following it.

That doesn’t mean he isn’t already looking for what could be his next target to turn into a successful series. And it seems to be one that hasn’t even been around for long.

A man with clear ideas

Pragmata, the latest original IP from Capcom, is a game that Adi Shankar and the people around him have their eyes on. “The number of people who have written to me is concerning (…). They are all like, ‘God, you have to do this next'” Shankar himself declared. But according to him, if it happens, it won’t be soon. “The next two things beyond Devil May Cry are original,” he stated, showing an interest beyond adapting the works of others.

Pragmata has been an absolute success, selling over two million copies in its first month. Being a great success in both critical acclaim and sales for Capcom, the Japanese company has already stated that its intention is to continue expanding its universe in the future, so it would not be surprising if, at some point, we saw an animated series based on it.

On the other hand, Shankar is not surprised by his success. “I have the feeling that one of the reasons people are excitedly talking about Pragmata is because it is original”. It is not a reboot of Dead Space or The Last of Us 3, which also explains his position when it comes to making his own original productions before working on adaptations of others. Demonstrating that his interest is also in what he finds interesting in others.
