Animation studio Madhouse was hired by Atlus to create animated cut-scenes, including the spiffy opener, for the upcoming Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl. This comes via Famitsu, who also showcased some scenes from the game.

Madhouse is one of the more well-known animation studios in Japan, with several successful anime such as Kurozuka, Highschool of the Dead, Btooom!, BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad, Gunslinger Girls and something called Cardcaptor Sakura. You might’ve heard about the last one here and there.

Meanwhile, Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl is a remake of the first Etrian Odyssey, which released on the DS not too long ago. Unlike the original, you can also play with an original cast of characters in the single-player mode along with being able to play the game with your own custom-made heroes. The game is essentially a dungeon crawler with turn based combat featuring five different cast members. Let’s not forge the collection of different classes one can choose from.

After announcing that Etrian Odyssey would be arriving on the Nintendo 3DS in the form of a remake titled Etrian Odyssey: Millennium Girl, Atlus has launched a new teaser site for the same. It can be viewed here.

As of now, there’s nothing as such to see on the site. Except of course the lines, “When calamity covers the city of Etria and the people cry in deep despair, a maiden crosses over a millennium and restores hope.”

The original Etrian Odyssey was developed by Atlus and Lancarse for the Nintendo DS – which makes the decision for a remake weirder – and is a dungeon crawling RPG. In a vein similar to old-school role playing games like Wizardry and The Bard’s Tale, the game requires you to maintain your own personal map while exploring dungeons.

This map can be created and maintained using the DS’s touchscreen and stylus, but you can use a limited set of symbols for mapping your way through. Stay tuned for more on a US/EU release date for the 3DS remake.
