Scooby-Doo<\/em>, one of the most iconic animated properties worldwide, will finally receive an official anime adaptation. The title will be Go-Go Mystery Machine<\/em>, and it will take place in Japan, following a new cast of characters. This will undoubtedly be exciting news for both anime lovers and fans of the series.

To many, an anime adaptation of Scooby-Doo<\/em> is a risky and unorthodox idea, while to others, it comes across as genius. For those who want to know more, here is a breakdown of this exciting news and where it stands within the larger Scooby-Doo <\/em>franchise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scooby-Doo<\/em> Anime Announced<\/span><\/h2>\n

According to Variety<\/em><\/a>, Warner Bros. announced an anime based on the Scooby-Doo <\/em>franchise. According to the description, the duo accidentally unleashes a swarm of evil spirits upon the nation and must go across the country to stop them. Additionally, they will be aided by Scooby’s uncle, Daisuke-Doo, and several other original characters. The series was announced alongside several other animated spinoffs, including ones for Adventure Time and Foster’s Home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Years ago,\u00a0the idea of Scooby-Doo <\/em>crossing over with anime gained popularity online with the viral “Ultra-Instinct Shaggy” meme, which made its way into the crossover fighter Multiversus<\/em>.<\/a> Furthermore, this wouldn’t be the first time the gang visited Japan, which they did in the underrated 2009 film\u00a0Scooby-Doo and the Samurai Sword<\/em>. With all of this, this anime will be a great way to bridge cultures.

Anime Adaptations<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nowadays, many people are tearing into the idea of live-action remakes. From the slew of terrible Hollywood anime adaptations to Disney’s despised live-action ones, the idea seems cursed. However, anime adaptations of live-action or Western properties have fared somewhat better. The animated medium gives creators another level of life and expressiveness to add to their art in ways simply impossible with live-action.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Warner Brothers themselves are no strangers to this. Examples include the upcoming Suicide Squad: Isekai,\u00a0<\/em>the forthcoming Rick and Morty<\/em> adaptation, and the 2006 anime Powerpuff Girls Z<\/em>. With the inherently zany nature of the Scooby-Doo <\/em>franchise, they will hopefully adapt to the anime style very well. Furthermore, Warner Bros.’s animation division<\/a> will oversee this latest production.

Redeeming the Franchise<\/span><\/h2>\n

To many, this will be a chance for the Scooby-Doo <\/em><\/a>franchise to redeem itself after several failures. While the series remains an animation icon, its reputation has waned recently. In 2020, they gave us the animated film Scoob! <\/em>with mediocre reviews. In 2023, MAX released Velma<\/em>, a retelling of the series that was universally reviled <\/em>by critics for derailing the franchise and having nothing to do with the source material.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the original series, Scooby-Doo! Where Are You?<\/em>, the team has been the face of a classic franchise. There were many other beloved series, such as the 2000’s What’s New Scooby-Doo <\/em>and the much more mature Mystery Incorporated<\/em>. In between, they also gave us dozens of direct-to-video films along with two lovably campy live-action films. With such an impressive repertoire, Go-Go Mystery Machine<\/em> will hopefully be another entry into the saga.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
