Illustrator Toshib Bagde created a series of anime posters that mimic popular television shows. Each of the posters represents a dark, dangerous or mysterious TV series which is given a slightly altered aura through the use of anime art.
The posters add a playful and lighthearted approach to eerie shows such as Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad by giving each character and setting an animated persona. Each poster perfectly portrays shows with undeniable similarities including color and text. While the original posters of these shows feature a grim and rugged appearance, these anime posters are more playful.
Each of these wide-eyed anime posters boasts a child-friendly illustration even though their inspirations are actually much more appropriate for adult viewers.
