Once Upon a Pixel: Katamari Damacy photo

Once Upon a Pixel kicks off its official first season with an episode based on Katamari Damacy! Except this time, it's not a bright and happy videogame about consumerism. You see, in the world of Once Upon a Pixel, Katamari is called Death Ball. It is a dark story about death and revenge, conveyed through the medium of comics.

Okay, so it might sound a bit silly, but Katamari Damacy makes a lot more sense as a hard-boiled graphic novel than you may think. Head on over to Gametrailers to see for yourself!

If you enjoyed this episode, new episodes of OUP are now scheduled to debut on the first Monday of every month! And, as always, stay tuned to Destructoid for exclusive looks at the art behind the episodes.

OMG ASHLY GOT MARRIED?!?!?!

Sometimes the Gametrailers comments are just as funny as the video. Very well done and it kept a smile on my face the whole time. A really nice contrast to the silly/family-friendly ones before.

Katamari rolls and you rock. I'm delightfully depressed.

I'm glad GT community is giving OUAP a hard time like they used to give Hawp. Great episode.

Only 3 episodes in and it's already in my top ten web series! Awesome job! Also, is that Anthony Burch doing the voice over?

This one wasn't as good as the other ones. The others were great, this one is just sorta ok. I wish Ashley Davis would've been reading the script instead of Anthony. Ashley is where it's at!

Brilliant voice-acting by Anthony. That is all. :O)

OUAP: Katamari Damacy > Epic Mickey.

Maybe not a fair comparison, but it's the first thing that came to mind.
