Question of the Day, June 8, 2010



Dragon Age is getting its very own anime feature film, even though EA's previous attempts - Dead Space: Downfall and Dante's Inferno - didn't do so well. What other videogames deserve their own anime?

Katamari and FF don't already have their own?

If not, then them. But really...I want an Okami anime. Using the same art style, if possible.

 

[I Resurection I]

I was thinking Final Fantasy but the games are already like anime to me, so I chose TF2. The game itself is comic hilarious and the difference between the characters is so drastic that everyone would be different.

 

[JEBWrench]

Final Fantasy already has one.

And it has a summoning gun.

That's right. A summoning gun.

 

[Blanks]

I say Final Fantasy, granted the franchise has had quite a few anime series'(Unlimited, Legend of the Crystals and the FF7 OVAs) but depending weather or not it would be based off of one of the main games or something original if done right you can't go wrong =P

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

Does it really have to be an anime?

Games like Final Fantasy could make a good anime probably (Final Fantasy Unlimited doesn't count since it had nothing to do with the games... same with The Spirits Within), but stuff like Team Fortress 2 (my pick in the poll, btw) would be far more suited to a non-anime cartoon since its visual style is already very cartoony.

Brütal Legend.

Erm... A Final Fantasy Anime already exists... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legend_of_the_Crystals]

In fact, There are actually not two [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy:_Unlimited] but three Final Fantasy Animes... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Order:_Final_Fantasy_VII]

And that's if you discount Advent Children for being CGI. Someone didn't do their homework...

A Bioshock anime about how Rapture got stuffed up would be pretty interesting, as would a L4D anime.

 

[AvsJoe]

I'd watch the TF2 anime, definitely. Though the L4D anime would be awesome too. I didn't like the FF: Unlimited anime too much.

 

[Jared]

For me has to be Final Fantasy, I know it haad one years and years ago...but one more liked to the series I think could go down a storm!

 

[Fightgarr]

I don't know if I'd want it to be an anime, but what I feel would make a great cartoon is:
Grim Fandango - The writing is solid and funny, with good characters and an original premise. It has a very distinct style that would translate well into some form of 2D animation.

Other, Phoenix Wright would be fascinating, since it basically IS anime, just more interactive.

 

[N_of_the_dead]

I went with L4D cause there just arent enough zombie anime/cartoons out there. I think a Team Fortress 2 one would be pretty damn good especially if they stick to the drawing style.

 

[Plinglebob]

Other, Phoenix Wright would be fascinating, since it basically IS anime, just more interactive.

Or a new Zelda cartoon as hype for the next game. Aim it at kids, but still make it good (see Avatar: The Last Airbender) and it could help boost Wii sales.

 

[Cherry Cola]

I don't know if it already has one, but if not, then SMT: Persona 3.

Okey, so the game is already part anime, but it would be nice to have it full-anime!

 

[Rafe]

Blazblue. I would love to see them expand on the great universe they've already created.

 

[Vampire cat]

Other, Phoenix Wright would be fascinating, since it basically IS anime, just more interactive.

I agree.

 

[wooty]

The Bioshock one would be pretty good, I'd give it to the animators that did Death Note and make it all nice and dark.. Fun for the whole family

 

[Da Joz]

Final fantasy has one called final fantasy unlimited. Maybe chrono trigger or chrono cross should get one.
