Ni no Kuni is a video game series made by Level 5 and Bandai Namco, with game writer Akihiro Hino. Studio Ghibli helped with cutscenes in Wrath of the White Witch, but didn't in the second game. It's a really good series that deserves more attention.

(also, there's a movie of it coming out in summer 2019 in Japan. No news of a US release :( )
Person 1: I played this game yesterday. It was like playing an anime! The story and characters were great.
Person 2: Was it Ni no Kuni?
Person 1: Yeah! How did you know?
Person 2: That's pretty much the flippin' definition of Ni no Kuni, mun!
Get the ni no kuni mug.
