Dragon Age is coming to anime, as BioWare teams up with FUNimation Entertainment to create a feature-length anime film. Learn more at EA.com!

Interesting. Let us hope this turns out great. I like anime, but only when it is done well. If it isn't, it usually ends up a horrible disaster. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

[Fredvdp]

I don't care much about anime but I do find it interesting that this is the second BioWare game to film adaptation anounced in such a short period.

[NasInTheOven]

Dragon Age is NOT suited for anime IMHO. I'd prefer to see an animated move like thw CGI trailers Sacred Ashes and Warden's Calling.

Oh well.

[dheer]

Anime seems an odd fit, really. Most anime is absolutely awful. Don't get me wrong, I hope it turns out well.

[Eleinehmm]

No, just no - First Mass Effect, now this...

I hope it will be an original story in the DA setting, instead of the game adoptation...

[Aehuir]

Great. Anime. I can't wait to see the Pumpkinhead Commander of the Grey Wardens telling Alistair how kawaii he is. I bet he's going to have those angry water lines or whatever coming out of his eyes all the time.

[Lintanis]

 Alistair will have those huge eyes they have in anime .   Morrigan and Leliana will have purple or pink hair 

[MassFrost]

Eh, not a huge fan of anime, but I guess it could be decent.

[DeadJediJamie]

This is a terrible idea. Will this be a case of mages doing lots of arm waving and shouting incoherently in a flashy backdrop while casting a spell? Or will it be androgynous warriors with spiky hair waving a sword about that is twice as big as their bodies?

The Mass Effect film will probably be made for the witless masses and have nothing to do with anything in Mass Effect and I dare say that this Dragon Age adaptation will have that distinctive Anime flavour which the fanboys crave and I don't mean the guys mad about Dragon Age either.

This actually seems like an interesting idea. Normally I would never even consider a Dragon Age anime, but now that I think about it, I almost want to watch it, just to see what they'll do. Obviously, because it's anime, people will be saying that every male character is androgynous and gay, and every female character will have strange hair and will be obsessed with cute things. If you ask me, that describes Zevran and Leliana. The only reason people will complain about it now is because it's an anime, and people seem to have something against anime. I say, give it a chance, you might be surprised by how well done it could be.

What this guy/gal said.  100%

Watching some tacky characters with massive eyes, spiked hair-dos and child like voices doesn't interest me in the slightest.  unless of course, most anime movies have moved on since the '90's.

Ugh... after hearing about the Mass Effect movie I'd had it in my head how awesome it would be to have a Dragon Age movie as well. This however, definitely wasn't what I was hoping for. I honestly can't stand anime. To this day I haven't been able to sit through a whole anime feature film, even the ones that are supposed to be critically acclaimed and more on the intelligent and artsy side.

I can understand why you wouldn't want to do a live action fantasy movie. Something as epic in scale as Dragon Age would need to have a very large budget to pull off and many people fail at such an endeavor. Animation in general actually does make perfect sense, but why anime?

Well, I adore Dragon Age so I'm sure I'll give watching this a try when it's released. Here's hoping I can sit through more than 15 minutes of it without wanting to leave.

Jean-Funk approves +1

I do not want to imagine those terrible hair styles, unproportional bodies, extremely long mouths/noses whatever...

A CGI-movie like Sacred Ashes would be MUCH better. I'm wondering where this leads..

[Shadesofsiknas]

How about a Dragon age animated series?



It would suit the story better as you could tell it all.



Each map point from the game could be an episode?

[dan107]

Lol, Alistair was tailor made to star in anime! I can't stand that crap usually, but I think this could actually turn out unintentionally hilarious. Got my 10 bucks.

[Dreadstruck]

Oh I hope it won't turn out as that series... what was it's name.. Berserker? Oversized swords and really weird swordfights.

[blademaster7]

Please tell me this isn't the "big" 02/01/2011 thing. Please.

As I said in the other thread, anime is a medium, not a genre. It can be as great or as terrible as any other. People who snap criticize something just because it's anime have probably only seen the crap that they put on Cartoon Network in the states.



There is no reason an adaptation of DA done in anime style cannot be great. Also it's being done by an American company, so I fail to see how any of the stupid anime cliches people mention are likely to be a problem.

I agree.

There are anime series I liked and used to watch, but I don't think that it is the best medium to create a Dragon Age movie. I'll keep thinking about the Berserk anime...

[bzombo]

not an anime fan at all, but i'm hopeful it will be good.

[Thomas9321]

This will be terrible. Utterly and totally terrible. Like the Mass Effect movie. I'll say it again - terrible.

[Abigail Fenn]

Ok, for those people who are saying just make a CGI movie, do you realize how ridiculous that is? CGI is time-consuming and expensive, whereas anime is far easier to make and less expensive. It's not reasonable to expect a full-length movie of the quality of Sacred Ashes from anyone. The one exception is Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, which was incredible. But again, everyone who is complaining about a DA anime would complain about a DA CGI movie, because it would still incorporate elements of anime styling. Remember the complaints about Leliana's jumping in Sacred Ashes? It would be that all over again, but a thousand times worse.
