I'm gonna go with Zelda. And please don't come dragging that old cartoon into this. I mean a real anime. Zelda wouldn't even need much for it to be an anime though, just animated drawings without the interaction. Hmm... suddenly i don't really like my own idea anymore. Zelda doesn't need an anime.
Give the spot to Team Fortress 2 instead!

Katamari.
The others are good for other media but not good for anime.

Legend of Zelda would probably translate well as an animated series. There is a lot of great games here. Make an animated series based off one of the game's stories, or make a new story.
There are already Legend of Zelda mangas.

Mass Effect since dragon age is nowhere near as good a story imo, or Phoenix wright since theres a lack of courtroom drama anime atm.

I'd love to see a TF2 cartoon or animated film. But not in anime form. It seems like more of a western kind of property and I'd rather it have a more western style if it's every adapted to animation.

L4D however, would work extremely well as an anime if the right studio took it on.

No More Heroes would make a great anime.
The idea is kinda redundant and round-about; but'd still be awesome

I'd like to see Zelda done, but more like Samurai Jack.
Hell, I'd go as far to say that Samurai Jack is the Zelda of Animation
(Yes, I know that Samurai Jack is not anime)

Where is the "NONE OF THEM" option? I think that after the relative failures there have been with most attempts of turning video games into other visual media, we should stop trying unless we know it is being made by faithful fans who will do it right: not outside animators and cash-grabbing copyright-holders.

Since that fails, Katamari Damaci. It seems best fit.

None of them. Why do people feel the need to fill the maw of content-hungry consumers by stuffing whatever new IP they can find into every medium possible?

Oh, right, they're money-grubbing bastards. So I guess Final Fantasy. Makes the most sense out of all of them, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Despite the fact that I'm a FF fan and I've never played Bioshock, I think a Bioshock anime with a 24-26 episodes span could work.

A few years ago, I'd have picked Final Fantasy, but I don't think a Final Fantasy anime from now would be good. Maybe back when it was Hironobu Sakaguchi in charge...

A Katamari Damacy anime (Katamari Danime? Damacanime?) would be great, though. I think it would probably only work if it wasn't completely about the rolling stuff up bit, but I imagine Keita Takahashi would manage that easily.

I'm always somewhat hasty when it comes to polls; I just noticed the "other" option. Dang. Oh well. What I would've said would be Chrono Cross. Or Chrono of some kind. I still think there's way plenty of potential with that series. I'm still waiting for the next game...

Why anime? I hope this is just another example of the lines blurring between eastern and western media and not "look at our trendy animation style that holds no particular merits lolollllol".

Final Fantasy has already had an anime incarnation and is basically an anime as is. It's already a given there will be another animated feature, eventually, as square has already made the point that they will flog their flag series around as long as it still rakes in cash.

Left 4 dead, has no narrative so to speak... just a means to an ends. Any attempt at adapting one would fail and become a resident evil knockoff (films not the games... a whole different kind of shit knock off there).

Team Fortress, again, has no narrative... same as the above, except it would be like an animated gamer (the film).

Bioshock is the only one on the list with a decent narrative... but its vision and style is all that holds it up and would be difficult to translate in a linear form on a film (and even harder on a series)

Katamari... beats the hell out of me.


I personally, wouldn't mind an animated incarnation of Deus Ex... choose whatever style you wish, as long as it has a decent narrative and decent visual direction. Not going to happen though, as the brains behind it aren't that stupid.
