# Medieval Manga Mashups Game of Thrones Anime Scroll Depicts the Cast in the Japanese Art Form By Elise Ying-Hei Ho | Published 2012-11-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-thrones-anime References: [ufunk.net](http://www.ufunk.net/en/illustration/game-of-throne-manga/) & [joscomie.deviantart](http://joscomie.deviantart.com/art/A-Song-of-Ice-and-Fire-339257308) Chinese artist Joscomie merges the popular [HBO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-of-thrones-x-pandora) TV series with Japanese art, creating the extensively detailed Game of Thrones anime scroll. Entitled 'A Song of Ice and Fire,' the Game of Thrones anime scroll depicts the entire cast of the popular series in the [Japanese art form](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manga-animation). Joscomie does a phenomenal job re-imagining what the characters would look like in anime form, which is probably something [anime fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geeks-rule-hellsing) have thought of more than once. As the artist makes their way through each character in the world of warring chaos, from the Lannisters to Starks to Targaryens, each character's emotions and internal struggles emanate from the obvious as well as minute details in the drawings. From shedding tears to shrouded postures, Joscomie's Game of Thrones anime scroll really does the series and anime justice. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anime Adaptations:** Creating anime versions of popular TV shows and movies presents an opportunity to attract a new audience and reimagine the source material in a new way. - **Cultural Crossovers:** Merging elements from different cultures, such as the Game of Thrones anime scroll, creates unique and visually striking art that has the potential to appeal to a wide audience. - **Fan-made Content:** Encouraging fan-made content, such as Joscomie's Game of Thrones anime scroll, can generate buzz and showcase talented artists while also creating new avenues for marketing and merchandise sales. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can capitalize on the popularity of anime and the crossover appeal of different cultures to create new adaptations and expand existing franchises. - **Art:** The art industry can facilitate the creation and distribution of fan-made content by showcasing and promoting talented artists and providing opportunities for licensing and merchandise sales. - **Technology:** Advancements in technology, such as virtual reality and 3D printing, can allow for even more immersive and interactive fan experiences, creating new opportunities for entertainment and merchandise sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Action Anime Prequel Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-rohirrim.md) - [Demon Slayer Paint kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Demon-Slayer-Paint-Kit.md) - [Gaming-Inspired Anime Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaminginspired-anime-figures.md) - [Fantasy-Inspired Soap Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-squatch-1.md) - [Video Game Anime Movies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenmue-the-animation.md) - [Anime-Inspired Tea Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-ghibli-tea.md) - [Thematic Dragon-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-inspired-timepieces.md) - [Anime QSR Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/attack-on-titan-1.md)
