What video games do you think they should make into anime?

[Roy Mustang]

We all know that they have been done before like Zone of the Enders, Xenosaga: The Animation and Ragnarok The Animation. They were all video games before they became anime.

So what games do you think would make a good anime?


For me, I would like to see two game turn into anime.

Soul Calibur or Soul Calibur two. I just would love to see a story line anime with this fight base game. The only down side is, all of those creepy fan boys will got their wish and have an ep that will have the women from SC going to a hot spring or something.

Ace Combat 5- The Unsung War

This game had a good story line and I think it would be nice change to see top gun like anime.

Last Exile definetly. Air combat, strategy, rpg elements. The works.

Lunar: silver star story!!! its already kinda been done (game has anime cut scences, hour of total footage) but made into 12-26 episodes of gloriousness. its got everything you need: awesome hero, childhood friend whos a girl you end up falling in love with, great cast of characters, EVIL (game makes you adamantly hate) this villain Ghaleon, the revial of an ancient city that means the end of the world, and dragons that watch over and are the worlds power. did i mention the compelling storyline that makes your heart fall in love with the story?

and after thats made millions, make season two about lunar 2: eternal blue. really, this'd be an awesome series.

it'd also be like a dream come true if they made FF7 or FF10 into a series. notta 12 ep stint, but like .. 50 eps and a beautiful movie finale (stole ep#s and movie from Gundam Wing .. its enough to fill up most questions viewers have, and also not enough to overwhelm you like inyusha or dbz with their 150+ ep storylines)

pardon the lengthy post, this was an interesting topic and i got excited -_-

I'd like to see Final Fantasy IV turned into an anime. That would be pretty sweet. I can see Rydia pulling out the mallet to whack Edge upside the head now...

Legend of Legaia. A game I'm sure 98% of people on CAA have never heard of, but the game was one of the best RPGs I've ever played, and it would be a pretty sweet anime, I think.

That's all I can think of for now.

[skynes]

Tales of Symphonia or Tales of Phantasia, or both.

[Debitt]

Apocripha/0. It's a manga and a game already, with the beautiful character designs, why can't it be an anime, too?

[Raiden no Kishi]

Metal Gear Solid 2, anything Final Fantasy, Metroid (oh wait, they're actually doing it aren't they?), Xenosaga, Ikaruga (mad spaceship ACTION!), and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

Video Game to Anime: Armored Core

Anime to Video Game: Yea...Last Exile.

[Joshua Christopher]

I'd go with Metal Gear Solid 2, Megaman X4, Tetris, and Katamari Damacy.

[Steeltemplar]

Baten Kaitos would be great.

System Shock 2 could be very, very cool if it was done right.

Probably my number one vote would be Warhammer 40, 000 (technically a tabletop property more than anything else, but they've made games).

[starwarsboy90]

Games To Anime: Soul Caliber 2, Skys Of Arcadia, Final Fantasy 9,uh, Sword Of Mana, definitly Tales Of Phantasia. I already know they did Legend of Zelda, they did it after the first game came out, like way in the late 80's, early 90's.

COMING SOON, FROM PRODUCTION IG

In the year 2101 AD, war was beginning...

*Robots destroying a giant ship*

They thought they had beaten it...

*A massive fleet of blocks falling towards earth*

*Robots being crushed by the falling blocks*

"Sir, our fleet is gone! There's nothing we can do to stop them!!"

But one boy...

"I don't want to fight!"

...With super-psychic powers would be able to stop them.

"You have to connect the blocks in one straight line!! That will destroy them!"

"I don't want to fight!"

*Blocks connecting & being destroyed*

"So, how was your day to--"

"I don't want to fight!"

He will be tested...

[Steeltemplar]

Of course, they've already made the greatest video game cartoon ever....

Captain N: The Game Master

[Rogie]

Without a doubt, an anime really should be made based on the Mario universe. I mean, c'mon, look at how much stuff you could do with that!

*sigh* Man, would be that cool...

[Nate]

Captain N: The Game Master

Nah, Megaman and Kid Icarus's speech impediments were WAY too annoying. They made Megaman seem like an idiot. :/

Simon was an idiot too. If he was actually that bad, he never would've beaten Dracula.

Not to mention Mother Brain is NOT stupid. If she was, she would've been overthrown by the rest of the Space Pirates. They're pretty brutal, and if you've played the Prime games, you know that there's a LOT of fighting between them for superiority. So if she was that weak and useless, she would've been overthrown...

Sorry, I know it's not meant to be taken seriously. But my suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

[heero yuy 95]

I think Skies of Arcadia would make an awesome anime series. I would also like to see a FF 7 series based on the game. That would be pretty cool. And Star Fox 64, of course!

Heck yes! Instant classic!

[Godly Paladin]

Y'all have never heard of it, since it seems like there are *absolutely no* Sega Genesis fans on this board, but they should make a Shining Force or Landstalker anime.

[starwarsboy90]

a what?

[Godly Paladin]

Case in point.

[Nate]

You assume too much, my friend. I bought the Sega Smashpack Vol. 2 (or was it one?) simply BECAUSE it had Shining Force on it.

Then I bought the remake for GBA (Resurrection of the Dark Dragon). But...is it just me, or is the GBA version of Shining Force easier than the Genesis version? Oh well...whatever.

[That Dude]

I've been wanting Front Mission 3 to be made into an anime for years. It'd work great if it was put out by studio Gonzo.

[Link Antilles]

Since Final Fantasy 9 is now officially my favorite numerical Final Fantasy game, I'd dig an anime of it. I loved it's charming cast of characters.

I'd also like a Metal Gear Solid 3 anime on the back story of the Cobra Unit and the Boss.

You might get your wish. Nintendo is thinking of getting into anime production based on their games and other stuff.

[starwarsboy90]

Really, ok, now that's news. Explain Battletech!

[Nu-En-Jin]

Games to Anime~
Brave Fencer Musashi (PS1)
Actraiser (SNES)
Lufia (SNES)
Chrono Trigger/ Cross (Chrono Crusade does NOT count...)
It would be FANTASTIC if someone was to put together a really good series, even if just OVA's, for the King of Fighters storyline from '96, '97.... (Whoo! Orochi!)

Anime to Games~
I always wanted to make a really well done, balanced 2D fighter, just using the KOF or SF engine, based on Ranma characters. I have two of the old Super Famicom Ranma games, and the Battle Renaissance for the PS1, and they're just worthless, in comparison to what should have been... so many characters in the manga alone that would RULE in a good CAPvsSNK environment... ahhh.. dreams and visions of Hiryu-shouten-ha's dance in my skull....

[battletech]

I saw it ever in a report on anime news network or in Newtype.

I wouldn't be able to tell you about the difficulty, because I don't have the GBA SF game.

Nice to know somebody remembers those oldies, though. Seems like most of the 'old-schoolers' are Nintendo people.

[Cognitive Gear]

I personally would like a Crono trigger, shining force, or phantasy star anime. I think these all have great potential with thier fanbases.
