PSO2 Animated Series

[Swaggerjak]

With the excellent work they've done with the opening cinematics for the game, who else would REALLY enjoy a short animated series or a movie? I'm not talking Anime, I'm saying CG. I think they could do an amazing job with the animation I've seen so far.

[Railkune]

I mean, it could be entertaining. Would just have to see it I guess.

[The Walrus]

Seeing as I don't like the plot at all, no I don't want one.

[Blizz3112]

They could make a commercial one, like Pokémon had...

[Railkune]

Seeing as I don't like the plot at all, no I don't want one.

I don't understand the plot personally. Seems a bit random. Then again, I've only seen videos and read up on the story/matter boards.

[omgwtflolbbl]

I can imagine all the flipping now.

[reptile7383]

I prefer to watch stuff with actual substance.

[Daiyousei]

I just read into Bioshock Infinite's plot (I'll try not to make it spoileriffic), and found it's alternate reality plot interesting. Like how PSO2's story mode is essentially you playing the same mission, but with different paths which led to different outcomes, thus creating an alternate timeline that diverges from what would've happened if you took a different path instead. So I guess they could write up a plot with that in focus.

Edit: heck, even the tear effects kinda look like what you see around when Shion appears.

[Swaggerjak]

Give a writer the ability to use the franchise and write their own story (using only the backbone of the game's story) and you can have a show as entertaining as possible. You don't need to stick to something 100%. Especially if it's surrounding a video game. The writers could have a field day with it.

I just think it has potential as an action/sci-fi. More of a compliment to the CGI staff. Like I said, though, you wouldn't want (nor need) them to use more of the story than just a backbone.

[reptile7383]

It is a cool setting, but thats about all you'd get from an anime (yes CG made in japan is still anime). That level of animation would most likely be too much of maintain for a series. Best you could hope for would be a movie like Appleseed.

[Zyrusticae]

Just those five minutes of cinematics probably cost a cool million USD per minute, FYI. Shit's pretty damn expensive.

I wouldn't expect an animated series to have anywhere near as much quality to it.

[Cyron Tanryoku]

Night of the Wereark

[Z-0]

Only if I’m part of it.

[Shadowth117]

Night of the Wereark

Oh god... why did you remind me of that.

@Z-0: Granted, but it will be your Adam character and he'll be more worthless than Afin.

[Z-0]

But he is the best, don't hate. :<

[Shadowth117]

But he is the best, don't hate. :<

All he did for you was convince the entire PSO2 cast to tell you the story in English.

[Gama]

i would rather have sega investing in a global server, kk thx

[UnLucky]

as if they can only do one thing at a time and can't delegate

[yoshiblue]

Risk and reward and Sega isn't as much of a risk taker as it use to be.

[untrustful]

Such a show would consist of like 90% fan service, 10% plot.

[ashley50]

It won't work.

Or rather, it's a bad idea.

[Xaeris]

Battle harem. Fund it.

[yoshiblue]

Make it like Sonic X!

[Chik'Tikka]

I wouldn't mind some sort of Machinima+^_^+ if someone were to able to load the environments and a number of characters and mess with their animations and such+^_^+

^THIS!

[Zorafim]

They did something like this for PSU. Something of a comic book which was rather neat.

Still, the series hasn't really cared about its story since PSO. If they want to prove they can write a good story, I want to see it in game first.

[Kion]

There are better things that you can make animations of

[JCGamer]

if they did planed on doing an anime for pso2 in general might aswell do it in 3d :) but if Sega want to go cheat yeah I say animation art drawing for sure. I mean they did great on Phantasy Star Zero for the DS so why not they make into that :)

?????????????????? - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm5FjIxj_tk)hahahaha now that old school Captain Harlock XD that anime still is good even back in 1977 even when I was lil kid in Puerto Rico I used to watch that anime show so many time including Mazinger Z and Candy Candy. :D that cool they are Bring him back into 3d anime game :yes:

[connor_the_kid]

I would rather they worked on their piece of crap game, instead of dumping money into some expensive cg project

but thats just me

[Arrow]

I would expect a small group of fans collaborating together with 3D modeling software to create something that Sega would only dream of making.

After seeing what programs like Maya, Blender, and (shoot me later) MMD can create... I would not be surprised if the fandom pulled it off.
Heck even a full fledged Anime is not outta the question. (This is considering what the Touhou fandom has done and thus I would assume that any fandom could pull it off.)

[Sayara]

Such a show would consist of like 90% fan service, 10% plot.

So 90% of anime then?

[Arrow]

So 90% of anime then?

I think that 10% is being generous.
Though I might just be looking in all the wrong places.

[yoshiblue]

So 90% of anime then?

Its all anime, just 90% filler.

+1 internets for you today. Pretty much this, i think they might have some scripting software that allows them to set the camera angle, what the characters say, and the lobby actions they use. So they probably have the resources to make videos, or extra PSO2 related content by using that in-house, the problem is the story is pretty bad.

[lostinseganet]

I think it could work, but then I liked the sonic cartoons :)

[Syklo]

I'd like to see animated episodes as a way to communicate to the players regarding update information and stuffs.....

But if it's an OVA of sorts.........yay?
It will have the protagonist in the epilogue, losing all their money to dudu though.

[Retehi]

I'd love a PSO animation in this style:

cant be worse than the shambling travesties that the shining animes were, such horrific fever nightmares those series were
