As per a gaming website, the trailer has been created by Humouring the Fates studio. In an interview with a news publication, the design team said that Octopie tapped them down to make something cool for Stranger Things. Adi Tantimedh, one of the writers for Humouring the Fates, said that the theme in the anime is manga and anime. The reason is that the theme is all about teenagers teaming up together and vanquishing evil with the power of friendship.

The anime connect in Stranger Things

Humoring the Fates studio deliberately recreated the anime version by recreating various 80's cartoon intros and paying attention to cues from the Duffer Brothers. You would be surprised to know that Stranger Things team had earlier cited that the Eleven was actually inspired from the anime, Elfen Lied. Artist LD Walker, who drew the anime trailer said that the team also tried to draw inspiration from the aforementioned anime. The team found similarity with a character Lucy with her psychic powers and how she was raised as a child weapon, her escape from the lab, and also how she was even adopted by good-natured people who took the edge off her will to kill.
