Funimation creating an anime series? That doesn't sound right.

Hell, even Halo Legends was done by Japanses studios, a plethora of them in fact.

Shepard

Oh god what the fuck

>>47920251
I don't know if I should be mad or fucking mad.
Anime adaptions of western media are always fucking terrible. No exceptions. And it makes me sad to see a game I thoroughly enjoyed getting butchered.

What is going to be Funimation's role?

>>47920273
>>47920309
OH GOD MY EYES I'M IMAGINING THIS SCENE MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP

Can't say much without knowing what studio gets it. Madhouse, Studio 4C and Production I.G. do alot of things for games/western market
>>47920304
and every single one of those shorts were shit, except for Odd One Out which is one of the two non-canon ones. It was fucking awesome and I wish I had a gif of it

>BioWare and FUNimation are to create an anime
>FUNimation
>create an anime
Troll news. Carry on.

I'm cool with this. What ever happened to that Dragon Age movie?

>>47920330
A couple of the Halo Legends shorts were decent.

I can't wait to see how shitty this will be.

Might this be Japan's way of getting revenge for the Akira movie?

>>47920309
Wrex.

I hope it gets animated by shaft or deen because ME isnt fitting universe for anime since its pretty realistic and that just isnt fit for anime. Also its just another generic shooter in space with a bit of romance which I think is pretty boring, its not good in romance or combat sections. Id rather play VN's and generic shootan games.

Oh and that anime/OVA will probably be shit and I wont watch it.

Hahahahahaha

Tali confirmed for maximum waifu status

Clearly never played the game

> Tokyo-based T.O Entertainment serving as co-producers

In short:
Source Material from Bioware
Jap studios do the work
FUNimation flaps their mouth

Sounds about right.

>>47920500

actually that's a fairly accurate description

>>47920330
somebody didn't watch Gotham Knight.

>Funimation

>>47920500
Its a pretty good description when most of Mass Effect's 2 players played a Soldier. So it ends up being a waist-high cover shooter.

>with Tokyo-based T.O Entertainment serving as co-producers on the project.
is it that hard to read /a/
It's even more funny that T.O talks about a Dragon Age anime rather than a Mass Effect one http://www.toenta.co.uk/pressrelease/100907DAPressReleaseSumUp.pdf

>>47920500

I can't say much, I played as an engineer, one of the like apparently 3% IIRC.

>>47920330
>Anime adaptions of western media are always fucking terrible.
Even Gankutsuo?

>>47920603

>>47920679
check-fucking-mate.

Now Tali can really be a waifu

>>47920514
How the fuck is Tali tsundere?

>>47920679
Does that count, though? It was partially based off of Japanese folklore, too.

>>47920678
I played as an Infiltrator. They gave ME2 stats out like last year. More people played Soldier than every other class combined

>>47920330
Gotham Knight and the Animatrix prove you wrong

>>47920758
Then how about The Diary of Anne Frank?

>>47920748
Things get butchered in adaptations.

>Anime adaptions of western media are always fucking terrible.
Interstella 555
the fucking Moomins

there was also an AnaKarenina anime,

it was pretty nice IMO

>Mass effect anime
>Dragon age movie
>Zelda still hasn't gotten a movie or decent animated series

FUCK THIS

This is the best news I've heard this year.

>>47920330
It's tricky but it's been done. A ME anime could easily be great or horrible. Just have to wait and hope for the best.

Prepping for gar Wrex

>>47920758
except it was called Gankutsuou: the Count of Monte Cristo. sure it had elements of Japanese folklore, but that was so they could make it their own take of it, but the story was an adaptation.

>>47920841
>implying anyone wants a Zelda anime
did you remember the shitstorm when they said that Link might talk in Twilight Princess?

>>47920841
They cannot do a series without the protagonist talking, or any of the other NPCs.

>>47920748
I know, Jack is the real tsundere.

>see this thread
>haha nice troll thread OP
>mfw it's real

>>47920856
Gankutsuou was basically the same story, though. Well, with more stabbing and crawling, i guess.

That's because Soldier was the easiest to play. The fully upgraded Adrenaline Burst was as brokenly powerful as biotics in ME1 were.

The final upgrade to Assassin Cloak was also pretty fucking ridiculous paired with that massive damage sniper rifle.

>>47920920
It's fucking old news, though.

>>47920886
So no Half Life? ;_;

>>47920961
I'm pretty sure they could do a side story or something, like with one of the scientists or something. Hell, maybe another Halo Legends?

>>47920473
>ME anime
>"animated" by SHAFT

shepard_head-tilt.jpg

>>47920961
If they do a Half Life movie, it will be done entirely from the first person view of Gordon

It's just like one my hentai Visual Novel adaptations.

I hope they make Tali Shepard's adopted sister. Wouldn't that be pretty cool /a/non?

>>47920330
Animatrix was better than the actual movies, or at least movies 2 and 3

It's gonna be

so

shit.

Dat athlete short

What if they use....fem-shep?

>tali will be moe
>liara will be dere dere

>>47921342

She better have pink armor, with a mini-skirt and knee high socks.

>>47920856
Actually, it's just called Gankutsuou in Japan. The Count of monte cristo subtitle was added for the West

>>This anime will feature a Krogan female
>>MFW when she'll look like this

Anyone have that one image comparing Miranda's official face to the fanmade one?

>>47921488
Na'vi aren't brown.

That is a female elite according to anime.

>FUNimation

>>47921562
Do you have the trollish one too?

>>47921562

>>47921576
A beach episode.
With only geth.

>>47921631
Sadly I do not.

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think there have been any updates about the Dragon Age anime or the Mass Effect live action movie since they were announced.

>>47921642

I killed both.

>>47921715

Kadan dying a manly death was the only useful thing he did for me.

Now, if Bioware hadn't locked out the Shep/Kadan path things might have been different...

>mfw Vic Mignogna as Shepard

I love it when /a/ and /v/ combine.

Some days when I'm on 4chan I completely forget which board I'm on.

Enjoy Moe Femshep as the main character.

>FUNimation
Well at least Shepard's voice acting already sucks dick, they can't make it any worse.

>>47921715
Considering her reaction about Shepard working for Cerberus in ME2:
>You're going against everything we fought for!
I can tell she wasn't racist at the end. That was when Bioware was still able to do some character developments...

>FUNimation

This is going to blow your cute girl shit out of the fucking water. There are no good animes with aliens. The japs are going to see this shit and it'll be a cultural revolution

Needs this.

GAINAX should do it.

>>47920330

>Anime adaptions of western media are always fucking terrible. No exceptions.

Animatrix

Batman

Gankutsuou

Les Misérables: Shōjo Cosette

X-Men is pretty good too. Also let's not forget the classics of the 80's like Heidi and more. Watch more anime.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to this. Can't see where all of the hate is coming from.

Give Eri Kitamura a break, she just recently voiced a hated character in Madoka.

Now I haven't seen Baka to Test, but that's the production studio's sole existing credit.

>Wrex: Norio Wakamoto
I would agree if it was 80s/90s Wakamoto. Recently it seems Wakamoto has finally become a gigantic parody of himself and has forgotten that he can actually act (pretty well too) beyond yelling really loudly and having crazy enunciation.

4Kids will do the localization.

The ME anime might do wonders after EA's fuckup with the ME2 storyline.

They need Don't fear the reaper in there somewhere

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxqW0Clok7U&feature=related

>>47922557
Let's sum it up with a pic.

I think Wakamoto as Sovereign will be better for some reason.

>"We simply... are"

So wait, are Funimation ACTUALLY doing the animation or are they going to let some other animator studio do it? If so, which one? It does make me wonder what would happen if Gainax were to produce and animate this...

>>47922986
Joji Nakata would be a much better fit

>mfw when the negative comment about wakamoto got deleted

All other voices would be irrelevant.
