Ahh, wouldn't that be nice. A child-friendly, to-the-point, well-voice-acted, short anime with only useful characters. Only, that can't really be called an anime anymore... And it takes all the fun out of it, too.


(And about the voice acting thing, the dubs are WAY more monotonous/heliummified than the originals. Most of the time.)

Well...

Since they made a Star Ocean The Second Story anime, I guess I'd have to say it would be nice to see a Grandia II anime. Or a Shining Force-based anime (I'd prefer to see one of one of the spinoffs (Shining in the Darkness, Shining the Holy Ark) or the later games, since there are a few really WTF moments in the plot of Shining Force and Shining Force II.)

I agree with it all except for the first one.

Only some of the time...

...And it's been mathematically been proven that, without the help of technology, it is physically impossible for a non-Asian voice actress to attain the pitch at the ear-piercing level no matter how much helium is used. Otherwise, that person will really have a sore larynx the next day. ;p


BUT it is possible for an English voice to be just as annoying as glass-shattering squeals. It's called "Dark Marik"...

Of the many Japanese exchange students and the one Korean one I've known, not once have I heard a glass-shattering voice. Their powers must lay dormant....

I'm probably the only person around here who still backs up Golden Sun for anything (Super Smash Bros: Brawl character anyone?). I think that would be kickass if done right.

OK, sorry. The originals sound MUUUCH more heliummified than the dubs, but the dubs sound more monotonous. That's what I meant to say...

On an unrelated note, they need to make another show as good as Basilisk. That would kick ass as an Anime.

Too bad that will never happen. Basilisk is mother****ing untouchable.

^I highly doubt it will touch Basilisk, but sure, why not.

Now that's more believable. Especially in other language dubs. (Swedish dubs, especially Cyborg 009, are probably the worst offenders...)

A Mario anime's not a bad idea. With the right producers, It could actually be good.

Talking

I think a Crono Cross anime or a Magic the gathering books anime(or movie) and though I havn't played much of it Golden Sun 1 and 2 would be kick ass. Oh and an anime ben 10 with the right artists and a PG13 to R rating it could be so much better.

Fredryc Fox Anime. Ignore the "anime is gay" comment as I find some actually decent.

Click to view video.

An animated R-rated Mortal Kombat movie would be awesome. So would an animated Super Mario Bros. film.

And are there any Deadpool fans in here who agree that he's long overdue for some screen time?
