Shin Megami Tensei — Anime Edit | made with ngram

About the video

This video was created by ngram to trace the history of the Shin Megami Tensei video game franchise through a fast-paced, anime-styled retrospective. It opens with a cold open before a title card sets the scene in 'Tokyo 199X,' then moves chronologically through the series' landmark entries — Shin Megami Tensei, Shin Megami Tensei II, Nocturne, Lucifer, Pantheon, Strange Journey, Shin Megami Tensei IV, IV Apocalypse, and Shin Megami Tensei V — before closing on a finale scene. Each title card functions as a distinct chapter marker, giving viewers a clear sense of how the franchise evolved across console generations, from its early entries through its most recent mainline release. ngram built the video using HTML/CSS motion graphics in a 16:9 widescreen format, favoring bold typographic title cards and scene-to-scene transitions over live footage, which keeps the pacing tight and lets the names of each game and era carry the narrative. The result is a concise visual timeline suited to fans and viewers looking for a quick refresher on the series' major milestones, structured as a sequence of named scenes rather than a single continuous narration.
