The intro to Mass Effect Galaxy looks like the intro for a Saturday morning cartoon. If a Mass Effect animated series was made would you watch it? They say animation is only for kids but there are good adult oriented animation like GI Joe Resolute. If you were put in charge of development of a Mass Effect animated series which direction would you take the project?

it looks absolutely hideous. if they're gonna make a series, it should be in-game rendered like cutscenes. of course tons of things would need improving, especially fight sequences. Nyreen beating up those Cerberus guys looks laughable.

 

or I'd use the rendering technology they used in LA Noir for those awesome facial expressions. kinky banter between maleShep & Kaidan would look priceless in that.

My initial thought would have been to focus the storyline on the first contact war, in the vein of how star wars did the clone wars, but since they were only three months long I would probably instead focus the plot on a small band of adventurers traversing the galaxy. The crew would be made up of a human captain with crewmates of multiple species and diverse backgrounds.

They would take odd jobs, but also would be clearly defined as "good guys" by making enemies with ruthless villains. I would place the timeline in a vague area just before the game series took place...so there is a chance of cameos from familiar faces and it wouldn't have anything to do with Shepard/Reapers.

And now I kind of wish I was working on this show.

I loved the Star Wars Clone Wars animated series! Should a Mass Effect animated series use old 2d animation like in the 2003 Clone Wars series or the new 3d animation used in the new Clone Wars series? Which studio would you want making an animated Mass Effect series?

Those are great ideas! If you set the animated series before the first Mass Effect would you include the Skyllian blitz? I think if Bioware wanted to make an animated series they would want to set it shortly before the next Mass Effect game.

TBH I like the art style of Mass Effect Galaxy. If I was in charge of developement for a Mass Effect animated series I would want the art style to be between the cartoony art style of Mass Effect Galaxy and the gritty art style of GI Joe Resolute.

EA should get in talks with someone to make a TV show rather than a Movie or animated series.  Similar to what MS is doing with Halo, heck EA could possibly get in talks with MS Films to do it.

I thoroughly enjoyed ME Paragon Lost and I would be more than happy of an animated series that was produced by the makers of Ghost in The Shell.

An animated series would make more sense than a movie, and would have a greater chance of being entertaining. You wouldn't need a massive budget to make a good Mass Effect animated series, whereas that would be a requirement for a Mass Effect film.

Yep and you can use the VA's from the game as well.

I get Genndy Tartakovsky to direct just because he created Samurai Jack and his involvement with awesome animation like Dexter's Laboratory and Clone Wars animated series.  :P

Take a look at this amazing concept art. Do you think this would be a good art style for a Mass Effect animated movie/series? Does this concept art make you wish Bioware would develop an animated movie/show based on the Mass Effect universe?

They don't have to rely on Shepards journey to tell a good story. The Mass Effect universe is vast. What kind of stories would you want a animated series to cover? C-Sec? The Spectres? The First Contact War?

More awesome concept art. What style of animation would you want a Mass Effect animated series to use? Do you think American animators would want to work on a Mass Effect project?

Agreed expand the universe with new characters and new plots.

Eh. If such a proposed show treats Biotics like how the Clone Wars animated series treated Jedi; with Mace Windiu single handedly destroying an entire army and then force jumping to the top of mountain; count me out.

 

I like my sci-fi/fantasy stories to be a little more grounded and balanced then that; not "I am Jedi/Biotic God so I automatically win!"

Great ideas guys! EA and Bioware aren't going to development anything that does not sell. Do you think a animated series would do good or bad? I think in the right hands a Mass Effect animated series could help expand the universe without interfering with universe canon. What style of animation would you want the studio making such a show to use? I personally like old 2d animation better than 3d animation that the new Star Wars Clone Wars uses.

Agreed! I think that such a show should not portray the characters as one man armies.

I think the style used in the concept art for Mass Effect 2 and 3 is cartoony but not too cartoony. It reminds me of the old 2003 Star Wars Clone Wars animated series in a way.

Animated series would be a better idea than the movie imo. They'd have way more time for character and plot development as opposed to a  2-3 hour film trying to jam in as much content as possible.

That or a live action TV show. Though I agree, an animated series would be best; that way you can have Commander Shepard talking to Legion or Wrex and not have it as an obvious Green Screen/GCI effect.
