"Videogames with Anime???" , posted Sun 24 Mar 16:54

Ok, I was playing Bloody Roar on my GCN the other day and I thought of this. I was wondering if any of you think that videogames with anime openings and or cutscenes and endings should have animes based on the games. I wasn't necessarily thinking about Bloody Roar (was thinking about Lunar :) ) but still, Bloody Roar could be a cool anime too. And Lunar, wow, it could be great. Also, the anime opening of KoF Dreammatch on DC is awesome, so why don't they make a KoF anime? I mean, those are just a few examples. I know it doesn't guarantee success, but still, the anime sequences in each of the games I've mentioned are great.

-Sakura Taisen 3, because Erica is KYOOTE

-Thousand Arms

-Mark of the Wolves(the intro is anime-ish enough)

-Xenogears/Xenosaga

Book Y's and 2 had an anime opening, but then that also had an anime to go with it.

I think the PC Engine CD valis game had anime op's too, along with a few RPG's (Dragon Slayer had one, and it had an anime that got released in NA too...I think it was bland and boring though...:)

Bloody Roar would make a good anime. I'd love to see that happen.

Leave out Fox,though,big mistake of a character.(well,so was that weird-looking Alice,too.)

Animated Jenny...mmmm....

Yes, KOF Kyo does.. quite a few, actually. BTW, if anybody knows anything about this game, is there a way I can get Mr.Big to join with me?

I don't remember who Fox is at the moment, but I like Alice and Jenny (have no prob. with her hair)....I actually really like all the characters in BR:PF. Especially Shina and Yugo.

"Lunar Silver Star Story" , posted Sun 24 Mar 19:54

hungrywolf, odd you mention Lunar
i've been working on a Luna tag all day today but i need more pictures of her before i can finish it

god, what a perfect chick. i dunno, just my opinion. ooh, reminds me of a thread i can start

but uh anyways
i know this is off topic, but why didn't they release more stuff for Lunar Silver Star Story? i know it's an old game but they could've rereleased some posters or wallscrolls or miniatures or something. i've looked at a lot of places and haven't found anything. maybe i'm not looking hard enough. sigh

all i can find is that damn ghaleon puppet
wtff!!

Oops... I got so caught up making the above list, I completely forgot about the point of this thread.

Personally, I'm perfectly happy with games having short but sweet anime scenes in between instead of turning them into full length anime title.
So far, most (if not all) of the VG-turned anime have been pretty bad, so...
The exception to the rule would be the anime-based VG's. Now, those do need to have some sort of anime clips from the show. I mean, what would be the point of making anime-based game without having actual clip from the show?

I dunno, I found Samurai Spirts OAV 2 was pretty nicely done, as was the second Y's OAV. Plus the Date sim/Viusal Novel anime for the most part has been pretty cool.

The rest have been passable at best, and worst on average. Like the very bad Art of Fighting and first Showdown OAV...-.-

Don't forget the Fatal Fury OVAs, they were sweet! Oh, and Luna is so awesome, Juke Joint...I love Lunar Silver Star Story Complete. I haven't played Eternal Blue yet, but I think I would like SSS better than EB. Oh, and Lunar is coming to GBA! I can't wait. Lunar is one of the best, if not the best, RPG I've ever played. Golden Sun is awesome too. Ok, well, that's it for now...I still think Lunar would be a cool anime...

Well, I'll prolly get laughed at, but honestly, I wish they could have made an anime out of Last Bronx.. I did like the characters in that game, and the opening for the Saturn version was pretty cool.. course I might be biased since it was my first import game.. ^^; Bought it when import Saturn stuff used to carry a high price. :) Ah those were the days. ^^

Course now days here in SA, TX, barely anyone sells imports, and the store that does sell them really sucks <I used to work there> ^^;

Actually, I don't much care for the second Samurai Spirits OVA... it COMPLETELY ignores the game's story.. Asura is a villain? Where are Yuga and Gandara? Oh, and there's and Ys OVA?? Tell me about it!! ^_^

There rae two Y's OAV's, oen for book 1 which has somewhat dated animation but is still funn. And one for Book 2, which has nice slick animation (and changes the plot slight to make it a bit more fast paced).

Both are good watches, though given that there old VHS fansubs they may be hard to find.
