They're not cartoons, mum...

Kairosoft lets you be the next Studio Ghibli in Anime Studio Story for Android
Kairosoft

Japanese sim maker Kairosoft has put you in charge of a magazine, a pyramid, a soccer team, an Edo-era town, and a game developer. Now, you get to make anime.

In its latest Android game, Anime Studio Story, you get to design your own hero, who will then star in cartoons for kids. Your animated hero will be judged on attributes like "Dateability" and "Popularity with Kids".

You'll then equip your studio with a library, motion capture room, and a theatre. And then hire and educate a team of artists and writers who will help make your next show.

If you do well, you'll win awards and high TV ratings.

Now, I'm gonna go out on a limb here. This does sound a little bit like every other Kairosoft game ever. But if you dig those cutesy management games and you have a soft spot for anime, maybe it's one for you.

Anime Studio Story is on Google Play now for £2.99 / $4.99. iOS gamers should get it… eventually.
