Previously, Polygon Studios have produced many exciting anime titles, such as The [email protected] Shiny Color, Drifting Dragons, and more. In fact, they have had the experience of working with CGI before in Ajin. Therefore, it’s exciting to see how Polygon Pictures will produce the new Spider-Man anime, keeping the essence of the superhero intact.
