Line 15:
Square Enix has released an official (and free!) translation of the one-shot tie-in manga [http://member.square-enix.com/na/features/wewy/02/ here].
A port for mobile devices subtitled "Solo Remix" was released in 2012, for [[iOS]] and in 2014 for Android. This version maintains most of the game systems of the original, but modified so Neku and his partner can share a single screen. Another single-screen port, this time named "Final Remix"
A 12-episode anime adaptation was revealed to be in production in 2020, and premiered on April 2021. The sequel, titled ''[[NEO: The World Ends with You]]'', was, after over a decade of false starts and teases, released on July 27, 2021 for [[Playstation 4]] and Switch, with a Windows version released on September 28, 2021. Fan reception would prove poor due to shallow gameplay, clear signs of having been censored internally by Square-Enix, [[Cut and Paste Translation|an English release that inserted its own dialog instead of translating]] and used [[Totally Radical|quickly dated internet slang]], use of Denuvo with Epic Games Store exclusivity on PC while Square-Enix would deem the game to have sold "below expectations".
See also ''[[Sh15uya]]'' and ''[[Gantz]]'', which have similar premises. For a game similar in visual and musical aesthetic rather than story matter, see ''[[Jet Set Radio]]''.
Line 86 ⟶ 88:
* [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp]]: Averted with things like frogs, wolves, and pigs. Played straight with the [[Everything's Better with Penguins|popguins]] and corehogs.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: When Neku finds out that Joshua {{spoiler|killed him, it takes an entire frustrating day before he confronts Joshua about it}}. Joshua himself seems to fall into this trope when {{spoiler|he doesn't tell Neku that he didn't kill him (as Neku discovers at the end of week 2)...until we find out much later that he actually ''did'' kill Neku}}.
** Somewhat [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that Neku wasn't 100% sure that {{spoiler|Joshua killed him}}, and if he was wrong, that would sort of affect their relationship.
* [[Can Only Move the Eyes]]: During cutscenes, when the characters are paralyzed, they usually scream something about how they can't move. Somewhat justified in that they're sprites, and if they didn't say so, we'd have no way of knowing they've been paralyzed.
** On a similar note, the cutscene sprites used for minor characters (like Shooter) vary only by their facial expressions.
Line 457 ⟶ 459:
* [[Shrine to the Fallen]]: There's one for {{spoiler|Beat and Rhyme}}, after they died in a car accident.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: {{spoiler|Beat and Rhyme, with Rhyme being calm, level-headed and responsible, while Beat is more emotional, impulsive and less intelligent}}. {{spoiler|Rhyme's}} gear that you can purchase after completing the game tends to emphasize defense, while {{spoiler|Beat's}} tends to emphasize offense.
* [[Signature Device]]: The Players' Player Pins.
* [[Similarly Named Works]]: The 1939 comedy ''It's A Wonderful World'' is the reason that the international release's title is different from the Japanese title.
* [[Sinister Shades]]: Kitaniji's glasses.
