Gritty: The Anime Intro

In 2022, I was inspired by the idea to create an “anime intro” for eccentric hockey mascot Gritty. Anime intros are a popular trend online to maximize the fandom around series like Spongebob Squarepants to even politicians. Gritty is known as an extremely online character with humor that is as surreal and anarchic, and so I thought it was perfect to merge Gritty with an anime intro.

Animated from July 2021 to October 2021, debuted Oct. 25, 2021.
Created and animated on Photoshop, After Effects, and Clip Studio Paint.

Music performed by Edit/Erase and Brian Hufnus. Sound effects by Sound Nectar Studios.
