## General Information

Anime Castle is a large, imposing castle found within a clearing atop the Great Maple Tree. This Victorian-esque structure is home to the King Anime Bang as well as his devoted followers and everything inside is drawn in the art style of Japanese animation.

## Description

The castle is located within a clearing, surrounded on all sides by both colorful sunset leaves and a wide moat that keeps out intruders. The exterior is comprised of white brick while the roof is a vibrant red. Judging by its weathered appearance, it was built hundreds of years ago.

The interior is rather dark and filled with all sorts of interesting statues, sculptures, and plates of armor. The gray walls and brown wooden floors give it an unsettling, horror movie feel. While the interior is massive with hundreds of rooms, places of note include a long hallway with dozens of doors on either side, a gift shop selling anime-themed merchandise, and the throne room where the King Anime Bang spends his days. The hallway of doors contain rooms with giant Little Bangs, almost-giant squids, and rooms for birthday parties. There is also a room that houses precious gemstones that may or may not be bombs.

Anime Castle is one of the major locations visited during the Rex-cue Arc of Season 2. While exploring the Great Maple Tree, the characters stumble across a clearing that houses a massive castle. Understanding that a castle is a place to explore, they activate the drawbridge and trespass within the property. They quickly realize that the castle makes everything within it become anime-styled and the group enjoys it for a moment before pressing on. Soon, they find themselves walking down an absurdly long hallway and Nathan opens the doors that line it one after another, with each one containing something more terrifying than the last. They also visit a gift shop within the castle's walls, only to wreck the place along with all of its anime-themed merchandise. Over the course of the journey within, Amber fatally wounds Zack, causing his spirit to detach from his body which forces him to possess RedEye, who makes a sudden reappearance. He spends the majority of his time within Anime Castle in RedEye's body. He later tries to attack FlamDawg within one of the hallway's rooms, only to be stopped by the Overseer who appears to intervene. Shortly after, Zack's cousin, Zatch, makes a debut and the two set off to eliminate the others using a plan featuring exploding gemstones. At the far end of the hallway lies the throne room where Zack faces off against the King Anime Bang in one massive, final showdown. Afterwards, the group leaves the castle via the rear exit and continues on their journey.
