| Hmm, not sure how to feel about this. |
 |
| seems cool.. |
| Okay, I remember hearing about this over two months ago on the gaming sites. So it's director news? Just now the anime folk are catching on? I pity them for not being Bioware thralls. |

shinkeikaku said: Just now the anime folk are catching on? I only visit like six websites, and just happened to catch the news of this on here. I guess I'm not much of a newshound. |

| Poor guy will be renamed to "Sorry Fumihiko" after the thing is done. |
| Played the game, will probably check this out. |
| Ah, more video game turn anime can only be a good thing! :) Let's hope it gets a decent conversion from the game. |
| The game was BA not as good as KotoR but it still had its own strong points if they do the same time of cg they had for the trailer for dragon age then this should be good. |

I pity them for not being Bioware thralls. Lol yeah, I was shocked to see it hadn't been announced the same time I saw it on another news site. Still, gunna check this out when it gets released :) |

| never played the game but sounds interesting |
 |
| What?????? I love the game so much but I don't see this going well.... |
| The WRPG community (especially those that shun JRPG's) just got trolled hard. |
| hope this works out better then the "halo anime" did... but i doubt it... |

I love the game so much but I don't see this going well.... why so much negativity towards licensing companies? people should be glad that funimation is trying to make anime more known _FawX_ said: Wow, really? Maybe we'll be seeing a Mass Effect anime soon as well. THIS HURTS YOU mass effect anime would be fucking epic |
 |
| So what studio is doing the Animation? If it's anyone other then Bones, Madhouse, Manglobe or Bandai/Sunrise. it's gonna be utter shit. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| all of Bioware products have good story and potential to be animated or get movie... |

| Never played the game but Sori did a wonderful job adapting Taiyo Matsumoto's Ping Pong to the big screen, so I have faith in him. I'll definitely be checking this out. |
