Background
Konami Animation is the animation division of Konami, formed in February 2024 to oversee production of their own animated shows based on their IPs. Not much else is known at the moment.
Logo (February 4, 2024-)
_(From_-_the_Yu-Gi-Oh!_Card_Game_The_Chronicles_animation).png)
Visuals: On a white background, the following text is seen in the center of the screen:
All of the text is in a futuristic blocky font, with chunks taken out of the top right corners of the "n"'s and the "o" in "animation", and the "t" is replaced with a large D-pad. The D-pad then flashes white in the order of the familiar "Konami Code": the top button lights up twice, the bottom flashes twice, and the left and right buttons quickly flash in-between each other twice in a row. The text also moves in sync with the text: the syllables of "KONAMI" follow suit with the up and down movements, twice on "MI", and then the letters of "anima ion" spring up one-by-one in quick succession. The logo then shines with a lens flare from left to right, with a shadow suddenly spawning behind the logo and slowly sweeping behind it before fading away.
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: The sounds of a controller being mashed, and then a 5-note chiptune theme, which is a rendition of the "Press Start" jingle of Gradius (1985), that ascends in pitch and has an echo effect.
Availability: It debuted on the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game: The Chronicles animation.
