Dragon Age animu

There's an idiom that says:

If Mohammed won't come to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed

The folks at Bioware also like idioms, so after seeing that their efforts at trolling jrpg devs at westernizing their games have proven fruitless, they have decided to japanize themselves with the aid of FUNimation Entertainment.

Don't see how it could get any worse.

Can't see why not. They already have several published comics, a book, a tabletop RPG, etc.

I'm just hoping it will be as XTREME as, say, Elfen Lied.

Don't worry. Bioware will find a way.

It degenerates into a pseudo-hentai movie?

...Or would that in some backwards way be an improvement?

FUNi?

So it's not going to be crazy Japshit anime, it's just going to be American anime.

Not expecting any real lulz here unless it turns out like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe or something.

You mean the gore or the pedophilia?

There were no naked underage characters, IIRC.

I meant the excessive violence and sex, yes.

Live action movie with real living actors.

Seth Schiesel of The New York Times described the game as “…perhaps the best electronic game made yet.”

quote from the article. :lol:

What anime has FUNimation Entertainment done? Too lazy to google...

Mister Arkham · Jun 8, 2010

No newspost about this yet? Serious :incline:

if you ask me.

Whisperer · Jun 8, 2010

@Jaesun - nothing of note, since it's not Manglobe or Madhouse.

All I know is that they are releasing those new Evangelion movies stateside because I own the first one.

None, they license it.

I doubt the Japanese Studios care, even if we had things like Halo Anime I really doubt Dragon Age is much of a blip on the Japanese Market and that means someone must be footing the bill.

I know *a lot* of games get a anime adaptations (Valkyrie Chronicles got one) but its more of a byproduct of merchandising, there does not seem to be much of money being made by Anime series alone (fun fact, Code Geass was done as a attempt to show a anime "original" -meaning not based on existing material- and even after its success -the elevens have no taste- they barely take chances on originals) but of merchandising, the mainstream thing in Japan is still Manga with Anime being fringe.

No idea how the fuck they think there will be a Anime of a western game that is not being funded by a western company, then again most of the grunt work its done in Korea anyway (like Avatar. The Last Airbende) and people still call Twilight comic a "manga" despite being made by a Korean (Young Kim) as the weeaboo for Korean comics is "Manhwa", of course that is IF it was being published on a Korean publication and not Yen Press.

... I will shut up now about the Dragon Age Cartoon.

Aye

[Edit]: Anyway, Elfen Lied was D&D in anime adaption. Absolute generic D&D stuff. I don't remember any sex or overmuch violence. At least it wasn't as crappy as the american D&D cartoon. Are you guys sure you're not mistaking it for Dragon Knight?

Arcanoix · Jun 8, 2010

Is it irony that I was watching DBZ clips a minute ago? :lol:

Anyways, something about this burns me a bit inside. I do remember there was a short anime based off of Fire Emblem, and it was decent. I was young and stupid then, so maybe that is why Dragon Age as an anime just doesn't seem...right? I don't know. We'll see, I guess.

Maybe it's Dragon Age 2 *isn't* coming?

If they are making an anime they should go with Mass Effect, not another fantasy shit.

You dont remember period.

The only "D&D animu" are Record of Lodoss War and Rune Solider, maybe Slayers andr some other "fantasy" based series, Elfen Lied is not in any sense close to it.
