It's Funimation - right?

Maybe we'll get Ferelden High School Host Club
or Darker than Dragon Age

How about Dragon Piece or Dragon Age Z or Yu Yu Dragonsho

Oh dear God! No! NO more Yu Yu ANYTHING! My husband has the entire series on dvd! I...I can't take anymore! Please, please stop!

I'd prefer some Ghost in the Dragon age or Dragserk....er, sans the High Octane Nightmare Fuel ending.

If this turns out anything like Naruto I'll never buy another Bioware game, ever!
Gods...I hate Naruto and all it's tween fanbois.

And I actually enjoy some anime. Those are becoming more and more rare however after the deluge of crap that flooded the market in the late 90s till now.

Tell your husband to get Hunter x Hunter it is by the guy who made Yu Yu Hakusho .

It is about 62 episodes with the anime. Now with the ovas that are not out over here yet it comes up to 92 and they will not have any more episodes in till who knows. Anyway you may just like it Hunter x Hunter has one of the best cast of  characters of all anime imo like Killua a fun kid most but he comes family of renowned assassins so for a kid he sure knows how to kill  :innocent:

The really masterpiece of the Yu Yu guy is the manga Level E - true work of a genius.

Too bad there isn't an anime version.

A Dragon Age anime by Yoshiaki Kawajiri, the creator of Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and and Highlander: The Search for Vengeance would be just awesome... but since it is being made by FUNAnimation I doudbt it.

Anime is great when you actually look for the good stuff like Code Geass or Death Note. People who equate it to Dragonball Z or naruto or Bleach are ignorant idiots who need to look past the mainstrea manimes.

True, Death Note was one of greatest shows I've ever saw. Altough I like Naruto Shippuden, anime is so much more than kids stuff. Stuff like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and the ones I said before are great classics of japanese animation with serious adult themes. A Dragon Age anime done right could be great.

[Bluto Blutarskyx]

if this is done as an "anime", ie: cutesy kids and annoying voices and "insecure" sexual situations-

then NO.

if this is done like golgo 13 or ninja scroll but the writers are contractually prohibited from japaneseising the realm of ferelden and inserting japanese cultural influence into the anime, then fine.


a better choice would be to do the animation in a real-life type of shot like that old lord of the rings fellowship of the rings cartoon.

that came off as dark and gritty like the dao world should be.

of course there is enough unfounded lotr-dao comparisons, we don't need more.

i fear that anything done in an anime style will yeild something that looks closer to the lodoss war than dragon age.

wow still going on?   Damn you people really must have some issues to have to rage on something just for the sake of raging, instead of appreciating any form of growth your favorite franchise gets


Face it, no "Western" studio has ever produced or ever can produce animation COOL enough to do Dragon Age justice. Fact. The best American artists can do with action-oriented stuff is Kung-Fu Panda or Justice League and that kind of silly crap. Move on.


Oh and to the muppet from a few pages back that said anime was an "very small niche" in America: LOL.

and how's everything else in the '60s treating you? <_< Hip-hop will never catch on either, eh? Video games just a fad too I bet? pfff

ROFL Western animation. "Dragon Age Forever," "Grey Man," "ABOMINATION!," "Warden League?" Yeah, no thanks.

Funny how all the haters in this thread still have yet to come up with even ONE (1) good example of "dark/gritty/kickass" from American animation so far, whether in terms of art or storytelling. （の＿の）

Go on, get Googling people! because I can guarantee you won't come with anything off the top of your head just like that.


Oh and by the way fellas, THIS is what happened the last time a "Western studio" tried to animate an RPG.

Or ya know it could just be the same art style as dragon age just a little more stylized(handrawn or what have you,) instead of 3d graphics.
Just call it for what it is, its an animated feature based on Dragon age, it wont be Dragon hakusho it wont be dragon league. There is already an established lore to draw from and funimation really has no need or reason to stray from that and give characters wild hair and turn sir pounce-alot into an anthropomorphic catgirl.
In my opinion being done in an "anime" style means more that it will be a bit more stylized art (more detailed armor with cloaks and tattoos, where applicable, some characters may be closer to concept art than in game models,) more detailed settings. I cannot say how much creative licensethey may take with other aspects but I honestly think it'll be no different than watching an animated version of The Calling or Awakening; a story told in the same world but in a different medium. Honestly,to accuse funimation of wanting to have Alistair scream tor raise his power level is like chicken little accusing the sky of wanting to fall.

You don't have to worry about Japanese "Accents" because you will be hearing English voice actors in English speaking countries,( though you could prolly go buy the Japanese language version too if you really wanted.)

Being done in anime style doesn't make it inherently bad or good, it just makes it animated, you cant know if it is good or bad until you actually see it. Until then tis all speculation.
And on that note, I speculate that the Darkspawn will sparkle, Duncan will get rickrolled, and fangirls will glomp Alistair.
and the Archdemon will Geusthost SNL

Well, that's not all bad considering the popularity of the concept art Morrigan and the Blur Leliana, who are both a lot more stylized than what we see in-game.

From the people who are against FUNinmation doing this, can you name a few Western-style animation studios that actually do this sort of material? Most major American studios that I know of make much more lighthearted fare.

[TMZuk]

Dragonage is going to be horrid in Anime! Anime is oriental, not western. Imagine what they'll do with poor Leliana... *shudders*!



IF they want to do this, and really, I think it's bound to fail no matter what, they should have asked Imagemovers Digital, or Dimension Films... but since it is probably going to be a cheap-ass production, that was never going to happen.

There's your Western animation (not pulling out the worst example; the cliches in there were and are prevalent in a lot of American fantasy cartoons)


and there's your Western Leliana.

No offense Sleepless since I like the tone of what you're saying but I can easily name a dark, gritty piece of Western animation. It wasn't gory, simply because it was on our mainstream television, but it was plenty dark.



That cartoon was Batman. And it was shown in the 90's. And I grew up on it. And it was awesome. (Same people went on to make Superman and the Justice League(s).)



Also, the X-Men cartoon from the 90's could be considered the same category. But anyway....

Those shows were cancelled 15 and 13 years ago respectively. That's the problem with western cartoons. What's appropriate for children has changed radically over the past decade and now shows like Batman: TAS are considered to be too violent and vulgar for kids. That's why the most hardcore cartoon in the west right now is Ben 10 or something. It's pretty embarrassing. With anime however, the sky is the limit. You can do anything because anime is aimed at more than just kids.

As someone who also grew up on Batman, Spiderman animated TV, Yes!  BUT... get with the times.  Seriously.... the 90's is history.

Awww, you're not writing it Mr. Gaider? I just finished listening to The Calling audio book and was really hoping you were tapped to write the script. Oh well, I suppose you've got enough on your plate as is. Bioware can't keep you chained to your desk forever. lol



I really hope Funi doesn't try to write this themselves... that's a disaster in the making, in my opinion. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of it. Maybe we'll get some Griffins? lol

Batman: TAS.

In term of art, the examples from the French animation school at Gobelin certainly make pretty, albeit silly animation samples.

I'm not a hater. Just couldn't stand you bringing down Western animation.

I'm not sure if you know what the **** you're talking about. Anime and Western aren't mutually exclusive. Please get over yourself.
