Keep your finger on the pulse of the XR industry with the Daily Roundup, the most important news in one daily email.
Fiction plays a unique role in the formation of technology, often times giving far flung ideas a safe space to grow without being held too close to the light of ration or practicality. There’s no better example of this (to us) than VR, which has found a hospitable niche in Japanese manga and anime far before the first developer kit ever shipped from Oculus. Here we take a look at 3 anime series that we think will become fundamental viewing experiences when looking back on the time when you couldn’t just pop into another world.
(SAO), a series set in the not too distant future of 2022, which centers around a virtual reality MMORPG of the same name. The series follows the adventures of Kirito, a 14 year boy who, through the use of a fully integrated VR device called ‘NerveGear’, is transported from his quiet home to the online fantasy world where in typical anime fashion he possesses a surprisingly formidable and unorthodox fighting skill. Without spoiling much of the plot, let’s just say the stakes are raised when people start having trouble logging out of the game.

Fans of the series have gone to incredible lengths to recreate the look and feel of SAO, spawning a VR demo of the inworld GUI, and even its own Minecraft Mod. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey fields the question of SAO so often that he even tweeted this:
Was released in tandem with .hack//Infection (2002), a PS2 game sharing the anime’s MMORPG backdrop, a place simply called ‘The World’. The anime follows an amnesia-stricken teenage boy, Tsukasa, in a very familiar ‘coming of age while stuck in VR’ story line that’s more of a spiritual progenitor to SAO.
Series picked up virtual reality as a plot device when nearly no one was paying attention to virtual reality, and helped rekindle it in the imagination of countless members of today’s VR community (yours truly included), it certainly merits at least a curious glance.
Anime Vr Characters
Changes things up in the VR anime genre by putting its characters in a hyper accelerated state, where they are forced to enter into the online battle arena called ‘Accel World’. Hours inside Accel World are really only a split second in real life, which mostly eliminates the question of where to put those vulnerable bodies during extended battles. Mostly.
We discover the world of 2046 through the eyes of Haru, who is—you guessed it—a mildmannered teenage school boy who, through a hacked program on his ‘Neuro-Link’, a VR device embedded in his body, becomes what the series calls a ‘Brain Burster’. Every level he gains in the virtual world means increased power and mental prowess in the real world. Lose your levels in an unfortunate duel though, and you’re banished from Accel World forever. Don’t let the cutesy mix in styles scare you away though, because
‘s treatment of VR games, and how natural and pervasive they have become in its everyday interactions, may be its most astute observation.

(more AR than VR), and Ghost in the Shell series (some elements of VR, but not entirely VR-based), are all excellent starting points, and offer their own spin on how the world integrates (or doesn’t) with the new technology. Let us know your favorite!Japan gave us a lot of cool things, one of them being anime. Seriously now, you must have at least one favorite show! But wouldn’t it be way cooler to watch it in VR?
Just imagine how it feels to be in the middle of the action, alongside your favorite characters, and being able to watch every scene closely. Sounds crazy, isn’t it? Well, enjoying virtual reality anime is now actually possible!
Today we’re talking about how this can be done, in the comfort of your home, no matter what virtual reality headset you own! Ready? Let’s do it.
Karakai Jōzu No Takagi San
I must admit one thing: I was totally excited the first time when I heard about this entire VR anime concept. Being a die-hard Dragon Ball Z fan made me look for all the details available, in order to be able to somehow live inside an anime. Well, not actually living, but you got the idea.
I bet that you’re curious to see what I found and, of course, if I had the chance to be near Son Goku when he turns Super Saiyan 3. Yeah, I know that he also goes 4, but that’s in Dragon Ball GT, which is kind of meh, if you ask me…
Basically, in order to watch anime in VR, you need a headset, but the process is different, depending on the model. It doesn’t matter that you have a cheaper model, like the Google Cardboard, or a top-notch one, like the Playstation VR, let’s say, since you can watch virtual reality anime on all of them.

Since this type of headset consists just in a set of lenses, it can’t actually adapt the content shown on your phone, so it can be watched in VR. Therefore, it’s up to you.
One of these apps is Mobile VR Station, which can turn a video into VR-ready video. Or, simply put, it streams the double image you need so you can watch virtual reality anime with a headset. You just go into the browser, navigate to the page that has the video you want to see, then open it through the app.
What we really like about this one is that it supports various standards, like 3D, 180, or 360 file formats. And it works with pretty much everything we’ve tried so far.

There’s also Trinus, the app that caused me a revelation after discovering it. It’s mostly for games, but you can use it for any applications on your PC, like Chrome.
You install the app, as well as the desktop app, follow the instructions and you can stream everything from your PC on the phone, in order to enjoy it in VR. Just think about the possibilities…
Besides these two apps, you can also try YouTube. There are a few channels worth checking out, but it’s pretty difficult to find one good anime VR video, longer than one minute.
Anime Girl Vr
If you’re the lucky owner of Google’s newest virtual reality headset, Daydream View, you’re in luck. You can watch your favorite virtual reality anime show way easier, without using additional apps that mirror your PC on the phone.
As you probably know – and if you don’t, shame on you – the headset is Netflix VR compatible, so you can watch all the shows available there in a fully immersive environment.
Thankfully, there’s a lot of great anime available on Netflix, like Kill la Kill, Durarara!!, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Knights of Sidonia, or Sword Art Online. And the latter is pretty special itself, being the first anime that has virtual reality as its main topic. You can check out a short clip here, if you’re not familiar:

Nevertheless, if you don’t find anything you like on Netflix VR, you can try the two apps presented above as well. And this can actually happen, since Netflix has just what anime fans consider “basic shows”.
On the other side, it’s freakin’ Netflix! There’s definitely some anime you’ll like over there, especially if you’re not a die-hard anime fan.
Samsung’s Gear VR is by far one of the most popular headsets in the world right now. After all, it offers a top notch virtual reality experience, at a relatively affordable price. And guess what? Virtual reality anime works great on it!

There are three main ways of enjoying anime on a Gear VR, one of them being – obviously – Netflix VR. The app is available in the Oculus store and can be downloaded easily. Not to mention that the interface is actually awesome, but we’ll let you discover it yourself.
As for the other two methods, we have Oculus Cinema and AAA VR cinema. A full guide, consisting in setup instructions and reviews for both of them was made by Reddit user Savirix and can be checked here .
But hey, Hulu VR works perfectly. And it has some of the coolest interfaces we’ve ever seen in our trips in virtual reality. You can find everything you need to know on their homepage .

But we’re not done, since there’s one more way to watch content directly from your PC, using the PlayStation VR headset. Remember about the Trinus app mentioned above? Well, there’s also Trinus PSVR, which is exactly what you need! Be warned, though: the setup process can be a bit tricky, but once you’re ready, you can also play PSVR games on your PC!
If you’re playing in the big league and own any of these two headsets, we must tell you two things. One: we’re totally jealous, since you can enjoy experiences similar to those offered by a virtual reality simulator. Like big time and hope that yours will break and…ok, never mind. Two: you can watch virtual reality anime on these as well.
The main method of doing this we know – or better said knew, since we found something better
