Nah, it would eventually get on to Cartoon Network and too many kiddies would get a hold of it. Nothing against kiddies though...I just don't need to see SSJSephirothHUmar.

yea but come on i think phantasy star would make a great show you know with all the great techs and skills in the game i think it would be cool to see it in full 3D anamation like when theres a huge battle part in the show thier be doing all these cool tricks and pulling out really cool photon art combos and blasting out techs like foie and zonde damb that would be really cool wouldnt it come on guys you dont think that would be cool

Oh that reminds me.... if there was a phantasy star cartoon its obvious 4KIDS would get it and make the series crappy then sega would start throwing 4KIDS VAs into the next phantasy star game just so the voices match. Thats what they did to sonic. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

A show special effects and big battle does not make. Story and character make up a show they do.

Oh, and I did use to watch Sonic myself. It was good until after the first session ><
The old old Sonic cartoons were awesome.

I really hope they don't make a Phantasy Star show, because the games get flooded with annoying little kids that think they know everything there is to know.

Not that I don't like kids, considering I am one. =)

I can't watch 4kids version of One Piece... Sanji not being a chain smoker doesn't make sense to me. Well even though their version did much much worse things to the series that was what made me the saddest.

I highly doubt that 4 Kids would jump on a PS show. PS isn't as popular as Sonic, not by a long shot. While the PS games are succesful in their own rights, come on....not many people you know outside of this website know what the hell PSU or PS even is.

If a PSU animated series was made, it'd probably be pretty cool. A nice way to advance the story line as well.

Also, PSU/PS is a bit more adult oriented than something along the lines of Sonic, if you ask me(or atleast more towards teenagers)

Bleemo

Even video game companies screw up their on making an anime from their own game.

Take a look at Final Fantasy.

This would disgust me, as I know it would turn out horribly.

The sad thing is that Sega doesn't even need a show to ruin a good game series. Look at what the "Shining" series has degenerated into. (Although to be honest I do like Soul I + II and Tears). I'm still terrified of the day they turn the PS series into a bargain bin level game. A show would simply speed up the process.

Now mangas would be cool- if it weren't for the fact that THOSE would get turned into a show even quicker.

Hell, not many people on this website is aware there's PS before PSO lol. Well, alot do, but there's a still frightening majority who don't.

You have to think of this buisness wise.

I think I'm using this analogy correctly....it's a double eged sword? In a sense.

4 Kids wouldn't just buy the rights to a game animation that the general public has no idea about.

For instance, most of the things they've touched are already well known to the kiddies.

Don't forget the video game version of the card game that PSU would get too and end up becoming part of the main story.

I don't think it would be a good idea.

PSO just doesn't have a solid enough storyline to really make a compelling show about it. Not to mention the silly loopholes like Jean Carlo Montegue being the creator of the Numan race. They might be able to fix it up a bit - but it would take a lot of work.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, the original series would make a far better show (expecially PSII) whereas each "season" could represent a full millenium. However, being that they are some of the first console RPGs out in the US - they need to be worked on heavily to flesh out the rather skeletal storylines of I - III. That would probably anger a lot of fans of the classic series.

Phantasy Star Universe... eh.. we'll have to just wait and see what they do with it. I don't know the details of the storyline right now, so I can't comment.

Several...

http://www.phantasy-star.net/mypsstuff2.html
And that's just out of James Maxlow's personal collection. You can find scans from the adventure books (including the PSIII book) over at Camineet.net (http://www.camineet.net/camineet/) There's others out there, but they may be harder to track down - such as the SPEC issues.

There's a few fan-made PSO mangas floating around as well - but I'm not sure where. Andrew has an excellent PSII Manga (http://www.ill-intent.com/PS2main.htm) in the works - but progress has stalled a bit since he started writing his own manga series full time. Apperantly he's still working on it though.

I don't think there's anything out for PSU yet - but there will be.

Oh.. and not to mention the dirty mangas which I can't link to.

Keep in mind of the required effort and money in order to create an anime. In this day and age, anime viewers are getting harder and harder to satisfy, thus putting a load more strain on actual production costs and overall animation quality required to produce an anime.

Anime is only made if the production companies think it will market well. They don't make anime just because it would be a cool thing to animate this or that. To even begin making a "successful" anime, they will have to put a load of money behind the project and make sure there is a fanbase large enough that will actually watch it. Let's face it, the Phantasy Star fanbase isn't large enough to bet on them actually making any money from producing a Phantasy Star anime. Even if it was slightly successful, it will never be as successful as creating a Sonic anime.

Manga and Anime are best kept out of the same group. Manga is cheap, easy to make, and will mostly guarantee the happiness of the fanbase, for those who are looking for this type of material. Anime is very costly, difficult to make, and isn't guaranteed to please the fanbase for a plethora of reasons involved in making an anime successful. The only time you will see an anime made from a game is when the game itself becomes so popular that they have a reliable market, I.E. Final Fantasy, Sonic, Pokemon, and some fighting games.

Even without having seen anything about the story of PSU, I whole-heartedly disagree with them attempting to make an anime out of PSU. The Phantasy Star story in general isn't suited for a young audience, and the fanbase isn't large enough to make anything successful out of the older audiences.

On the discussion that 4Kids would potentially dub Phantasy Star, it's nearly impossible. 4Kids is exactly what the name implies, "for kids". They will only dub animes that will market well with young westerners.

You will probably see a lot of official manga floating around, but most likely never an anime.

I completely agree with what you said. PS isn't really popular enough for anything like that. Have they done a TV off show of Final Fantasy? No. So I truly doubt there will be anything like that for PS. Either way, I think a TV show is a bad idea.
